Don't Be Afraid

You are truly the love of my life. I wish I could have told you myself, instead of someone else saying it for me. I wish you weren't afraid to take off your cool reserve and be the real you. I won't hurt you or make you sad. I'd never deliberately cause you any pain, because love doesn't want to cause pain, only joy. I hope you understand how your smile brightens my day. Even the thought of you makes my heart pump harder.

I wish that you were not afraid of a close relationship. Please don't think that you will be hurt again. I promise to never hurt you. If I do, I want you to tell me immediately, so that I can try to change things. If you promise to consider a close relationship, I promise to help you not to be afraid of it, because I love you.
