Dear future lovers, 

When you start to fall for me please remember that I am fragile. 

I am fragile like a glass window, your words like a baseball bat smashing the window, splintering it to pieces. 

I am fragile. 

When you tell me you love me for the first time,

I will push you away.

I will push you away before you can start pushing me away. 

Just barely beating you to the punch. 

Before you realize that i am as unlovable as a broken window.

I will build my walls so high that you won’t be able to climb over them.

I will shield my heart before you have time to shatter it

Your words like a baseball bat smashing the window. 

Dear future lovers, 

Remember that love is a fire.

Its blaze so beautiful from afar, but when getting to close can scorch you. 

Love is a thrill ride, 

With twists and turns that jerk your heart around till you scream that you want off.

Love is a battlefield,

With many, many bad fights and unhappy endings.

Love is a dying flower, 

Just needing the right attention to ensure that it grows into a garden. 

Please make sure to give our love the right attention,

Please help our flower bloom into a garden.

Please do not give up on the wars between me and you and the world.

Please enjoy the warmth of the fire, but don’t let me get burnt. 

Dear future lovers, 

Loving me will be tricky like the side shows at a circus, 

But i will love you with my whole heart if you show me enough reasons to. 

I will put my all into making you happy,

Discarding any fears of getting hurt,

Discarding any thoughts of my own feelings.

I will be there for each and every one of your bad days,

To take on all of your storms, and slay your dragons. 

All that i ask,

 Is that you don't use your words like a baseball bat, 

smashing my heart like a splintering window.
