Falling in love seemed all too foreign for me.
I cannot remember how it felt to be swept off your feet.
I forgot the sensation of having butterflies in your stomach, and how it made you all giddy.
I’m Priscilla
Im a stranger to these emotions.
Truth be told, it scared me… did you know that?
You somehow scared me.
I’m Priscilla
Or maybe, I feared myself.
I felt like Im getting into a quicksand.
I was so afraid of having my heart damaged further, and why would I not be?
My last break up nearly drove me crazy.
I carry all the doubts one ruined soul would have.
I avoided you as much as I can because I couldnt trust anyone with my heart…
I couldnt even trust myself with my heart.
But with each rejection, you did not falter.
You did not give up.
I never had anyone as persistent as you had been with me.
You tried your best to reach out despite my attempts of dismissing your affection.
Im glad you did.
Falling in love with you did not happen swiftly.
If anything, it was terrifying.
My heart felt too heavy at the thought of someone entering my life again.
Someone who wanted to take a residency in my heart, but with no assurance of staying.
I was overwhelmed with the emotions stirring inside me, but the uncertainty made me crave for you.
You made me want to throw my hesitance and be free-spirited in loving you.
You have been my state of euphoria after my long days of desolation.
You made me feel that this was what I needed all this time… to fall in love.
She said Im supposed to complete myself on my own.
The funny thing is, you defied that.
Its as if you were a puzzle piece that fits perfectly in my life.
You filled that huge void that was always there, suddenly everything made sense.
Everything with you felt right.
So I tore down my walls for you.
I crossed the line and took the risk.
And now, I am at my happiest because of you.
Thank you for making me see things in a different light.
You showed me a possibility that I wouldnt even consider, nor think about months ago.
You made me picture myself with you for the rest of this lifetime.
You brought out an optimist out of a cynic.
Thank you for loving me all those times when I couldnt even love myself.
Thank you for being a living proof that life is a bounty of goodness.
I know there would be times that being with me will be a bit difficult.
Im going to be completely honest with you, I still have an irresolute heart.
All I ask from you is patience.
kindly be patient while I slowly peel myself off with every doubt I have.
I want to be better for you.
I have so many things I wanted to look forward to with you by my side.
I want us to be each others forever, no matter how overrated forever may be.
I hope and pray that you are exactly what I want you to be… my answered prayer.
