I can’t help but love you but my brain tells me not to say it just yet.

When I fall in love, it happens quickly, and it happens hard.

But I know from past experiences that love doesnt work this way for everyone.

I cant help but love you but my brain tells me not to say it just yet.

I lie awake for hours, replaying every moment of our time together in my head.

I hold onto you as you fall asleep, cherishing the moment I hope will never end.

We share our innermost desires, and I start daydreaming of the future life we could build together.

I want to share my life with you entirely, both the good parts and the bad.

I worry about you breaking my heart, a heart that I was foolish enough to give.

Yet I keep giving you pieces of it anyway, and this confession is no different.

My feelings for you grow with every breath I take, and it scares me beyond belief.

The truth is, I love you… but Im too scared to say the words.
