L o v e

People fall in love for all sorts of reasons.
A lot of times those reason are also the reasons they fell out of love.
Which is why I tell you I don't care if you leave, because if I tell you that enough, maybe I'll believe it myself.
My once cute stubbornness will become immaturity and not being able to compromise.
The fact that I cuss too much was funny, and will soon become ridiculous and unnecessary.
It's why love scares me.
If you ask me what I'm most scared of, I'll answer love.
Love is unpredictable and unprecedented.
It doesn't know what it's doing or where it's going.
It doesn't know when it's coming or when it's leaving.
And you can't predict the future.
So for now, we fall in love like it's not a big deal, but one day our partners will look at us, and realize the mistake they've made.
Because that's what love is.
It doesn't know how to control it's arrival and departure.
And you can't control it either.
Love is uncontrollable, untameable and uncageable.
So I'm sorry if I worry too much.
I've seen long time marriages end over the same reasons they began.
I've watched my boyfriend leave for someone who was clearly better.
So I'm sorry if love is the most terrifying thing in the world, but it's not very inviting.
