To The Girl I Love

I see the frown beneath your smile; the tears behind that sparkle in your eyes

I know that even when you say you’re fine, you really ain’t.

Behind that “strong woman” facade, i know that all you really want is to be held.

You want to be loved just like everyone else.

You’ve been hurt so many times. You’ve hurt others too. 

Now, you’re afraid of loving. You’re afraid of being loved.

You want the wounds and scars to heal but you’re not ready to nurse them.

Medicine’s too bitter. You lack that patience.

Don’t be afraid. Healing shall come.

Dear girl that i love; I want you to know this;

You are not alone. You’ll never be alone. I will hold you. I’ll always be there for you
