“I love you…”

It’s the scariest thing to hear, the hardest thing to say, and the worst thing to believe.

I knew this and yet when he said those words I couldn’t help but believe him.

Trust him.

Want him.

Desire.

It’s a scary thing to feel. To want something you might never have. To reach for something you might never grasp. And yet…I did.

“I love you…”

Three words, eight letters, the power of the world in their hands.

Once uttered they altered me—transformed me, and once broken they destroyed me.

Yet still, I love you…
