I

I promised myself I wouldn’t play your game.

I wasn’t going to be a “thing” to you… an object.

Your green bright eyes made me think you were different, better.

I believed that, and with time and talk, it’s the only thing I could see.

You’re great. Special. And like everyone else, unique.

I do not know why I acted so angry when your showed me your flaws.

It’s not like they were foreign. I had met first hand with them for months, and I accepted them then.

So the thing I want to understand, is why?

Why did I act that way?

Was it because I had fallen for you, and I wanted you to feel the same?

Was it because I was tired of my own problems?

Or was it because I underestimated you? ...

Either way, I consider myself as a loser. I lost you, and I don’t know how to get you back.

I’m afraid of rejection. I’m afraid of loving you. I’m afraid of dying alone. And I’m afraid of not being

what you expect.

Before you assume that what you feel is a lasting love it would be a wise move to consider the term infatuation. They are similar, but differ in intensity, honesty, integrity and of course longevity. One is true and the other a very good counterfeit. Most people spend their lives stepping from one infatuation to another.

Being in love or being in infatuation?

I agree with moonskittles, it does seem like you're in love. It's always a scary experience because you never know how it's going to play out. But while you're in love, it's best not to worry and just take each day as it comes. My favourite line in this is: You’re great. Special. And like everyone else, unique. - it's so true. Everybody is unique. So what you need to do is make your love unique, too! I wish you the best and I wish you all the best.
