Fear of the Unknown.
Uncertainty
I am not afraid of Love..
I never have been.
I am afraid of the unknown.
Are you really who you claim to be?
Will things turn out the way that I hope, with the end resulting in you and me?
I often think of the tears that fall when two people are at the altar, reciting their vows
hopeful that the other’s words are true,
confident in their decision, but still afraid that this Love will end up like the last, if not worse
Prior to recent experiences, I thought that these were purely tears of joy
The immense happiness that arises in finally feeling that you’ve found “the one”
Tying the final knot with who you feel to be your soulmate, or the closest thing to that
But now I consider the reservations that one might have..
Thoughts of one day not being “enough” for them
Constant arguing with no solution on the horizon
Verbal abuse when things don’t go their way
Their “true colors” not being so true as the time passes
These being so heavy on your heart because all the Love you had to give at the time did not remedy the situation
But still.. with knowing all of this, you try
You push pass your fear to experience life with another, your person
Because the reward is worth the risk, Love is worth the effort..
Because all we can do is move forward, and hope for the best
Or at least that’s what Love taught us..
On one hand, the unknown may not be that bad
On the other, it’s one of the things that we fear most.
