Wilting Flowers


i love you. thats something that is said alot. but is there meaning to it when the words come out of your mouth? there is when i say it. i will tell you i don't trust you guaranteed. i say i don't trust anyone but that isn't completely true. i just don't like to give people the power of knowing they could easily hurt me if they knew. yet, im that one person you could trust with your life. i can honestly say i don't judge. if anyone knew half of what is unknown about me to anyone, you would know these things. there is not one person who is even close to knowing everything about me. im very open minded. it wouldn't be shocking to see me doing something extremely out of the ordinary. i would stick by your side through thick and thin. i don't believe in labeling someone or stereotypes. i always do my best to make those around me happy, even if it means im miserable because im a person who definitely cares about others more than herself. i never ever intentionally hurt anyone, i am just one who always speaks the truth. but trust me, knowing the truth no matter how bad it is, is way better than being lied to. all of this and more if i were given a fair chance. i hate the old saying 'life isn't fair'. i believe that everyone deserves respect period. and the only catch with me is that if you are able to do enough damage that you hurt me, then im gone. hurt is fear and too common to myself. i try to get to know people before i let them get to know me. and i do know what love is. so instead of all this you could just say im a loving and lovable person, because most importantly i know how love works. and im yet to find another who could reciprocate all this to me.
