The Same Mentality

#VocalNPM

Maybe 

Maybe it’s your persistence that scares me. I’ve never had someone stick around this long even after consistently pushing them away.

Maybe it’s your consistency that scares me because it’s always me putting in all the work while others

fall off,

become distant and

move on without me.

Maybe it’s your attention that scares me, you actually listen to my every word even if it’s just me reminiscing or talking crazy .

Maybe it’s my feelings that scare me because for once I can say I’ve connected with a person that actually felt the same connection.

Maybe it scares me because I’m done with being scared and I think I’m ready to give you all of me

maybe,

maybe.
