Let’s hold each other in the darkness of the night & whisper how we have never quite felt this way before.

I apologize for my trust issues. It’s just that whenever I open myself to people, they end up hurting me in the end. Friends, other boys, even family members. They scar me, leaving deep cuts of loss and betrayal behind. I have trust issues because I love you so much and if you ever hurt me, I don’t know how I would recover. I’m not asking you to promise not to hurt me; that is an altogether impossible task that never ends well. What I’m asking is for you to understand me; my abilities and my limits. I’ve given you all the trust I can manage right now; in time it will grow. But you have to earn the rest through familiarity, which requires a lot of patience. So please see this through the eyes of someone who’s been hurt a lot. I need to be completely certain that you won’t break my heart.

I can depend on you so much. I can depend on you to fight my battle against lbs for me. I can depend on you to trust me with my word when I shouldn’t be given a second chance. I can depend on you to try to surprise me with dinner & a movie (or just a movie due to the fact I already ate) when I’ve had a terrible day. I can depend on you for my smiles, my laughs, and my fondest memories. I can depend on you to make me happy.
