three little words

I LOVE YOU

those three little words can make you fly like a butterfly or they can make your world come crashing down around you. sometimes they can do both at the same time. we long to hear them spoken sincerely. and yet are so terrified of what they could mean and what they could change.

i hear you say them and i wake up and my consciousness tingles with excitement. you, who tried to push me away, tear down every wall i've built.
