reality of fear: you’re not scared of the dark; you’re scared of what’s in it. you’re not afraid of heights; you’re afraid of falling. you’re not afraid of the people around you; you’re afraid of rejection. you’re not afraid to love; you’re just afraid...

i look at you & i see my best friend. your energy and passion inspire me in ways i never thought possible. your inner beauty is so strong that i no longer fear being myself. i no longer fear at all. i never thought i’d find someone to love that would love me back unconditionally. and then i realize that although we were often apart, you were always with me & you were always my soul mate. you give me purpose when i feel i have none. without you, my soul would be empty, my heart would be broken, my being incomplete. i thank god every day you were brought into my life & i thank you for loving me.

I am still saving myself from the last time you came knocking at my door. I shattered my wrists to catch myself from falling. After you left, I patched up my own ribcage, bone by broken bone. The truth is, I stopped saying sorry a while ago. I figured out that I was never built to be fragile. I was made from fire, beautiful but annihilating. You didn’t understand that I was not meant to love, I was meant to burn. And I will light the world on fire with my matchstick heart.

I’ve learned… that we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
