I'VE COME TO SETTLE


I want you to know that you helped me realize how it feels good to open up and love again. Before, I was afraid to fall in love again. I thought I wonât overcome the pain of my past and you showed me the possibilities of falling in love again. I fell in love with you and I was happy about it but along with it I know the risk of getting hurt. I love you so much and I want to love you more. I want to take a leap and take every chance to love you more. Once again I have found the person I want to take care, nurture and grow with. I want to move closer to you and offer you all that I have.

But I do know that I can only this much and it takes you to be on the other side to make this work. I am starting to feel afraid again, coz I can feel your reservations and I donât know what to do to make you love me more. I am not ready to lose you but I would have to stop hoping that weâd reach that point at this time. You deserve to be happy babe, so Iâve come to settle with what you can give. I am giving up my desires and expectations. Guess Iâll leave it up with TIME and let fate take its course to lead you to me.
