I am not easy to love
You may say that I am a damsel in distress;
A collection of paradoxes; a chaos
I came with warning signs; with red flags
Slightly damaged; slightly used but still functioning
It’s been years since that magical feeling knocked on my door
They call it love
I did not expect it to pay a visit again
Of course I wasn’t ready for it,
I won’t deny that I am not longing for it and there’s a part of me willing to take a risk
Few have tried to enter the walls I built but no one was worth it
No one was ready for the long ride; for the commitment
And then there you are
I did not notice you at first
I did not feel anything special
You’re just my normal guy friend
But one day it changed
I started seeing you as more than that
I started imagining of an “us”
But you were hesitant; in denial
You were not ready
You were thinking of our friendship
You were scared it won’t work out
But one day everything felt different
We started having conversations not a normal friendship would have
Days passed and our friendship started growing into something more
I knew it, we are becoming something more than friends
You said you just needed time to make sure you’re ready
You said you know I always wanted assurance
And you want to give me that before pursuing me
I won’t deny, you are not hard to fall in love with
You are everything a girl would want
You embraced my flaws
You calmed my storm
You understand how a mess I can be
How sometimes I can have a whirlwind of emotions
You were still there
You made me feel loved even more
I am beyond blessed to have you
You make everything worthwhile
You make everything easier
I am thankful that you make me feel loved everyday
I am thankful for you
And I am glad that we both tried
I am contented in what we are and what we have
Of all the risks I took, you are the most worth it
You will forever be my always
