I didn't plan to fall in love with you.
You might wonder why.
Easy. I didn't want my happiness to depend on someone.
I didn't want to crave attention.
I didn't want to stay up late wondering whether you were thinking about me or not.
I din't want to wonder if you missed me.
I didn't want to stare at my phone screen waiting for a text, a call.
I didn't want to cry over someone who may not care.
Didn't want to give you the power to make me compromise.
But here's the thing about love.
It doesn't ask for permission, doesn't depend on what you want or desire.
It's more of what you can give than what you can get.
It's more sacrifice, giving, cherishing, appreciating.
It's about trust.
It's about the future.
Our future, together, when the skies go dark and our hair grey.
Forever, like the sands of time.
