Don’t Fall in Love With Me

Don’t fall in love with me. Not unless you’re
ready for a God damn fight. I don’t want
frailty, or fiction and fairy tales. I want
you to be irrational, because I’m irrational.
Be bold. speak your mind. I want your
wildfires, ang obscenities. r want your
passion, and priorities. Protect what’s yours.
defend what’s ours. Let ug fight against
routines and bad habits, and anything
typical. And don’t you dare quit. Not on us,
not on yourself. God help the person who
threatens us. Forgive me when I let you
down, but don’t ever overlook it, or allow it.
We’re all insecure about something. Show me
yours. We’re all terrified sometimes. Turn to
me. People come in and out of my life so
often and easily that I just look for a love
that stays. I don’t mind your blemishes or
scars, I have a few of my own. Don’t be
another flash in the pan. Falling for me
will be easy. Staying with me will be
Impossible. But you deserve a love that most
people don’t believe in anymore.
