If you are going to fall in love with me, it's only fair…
“If you are going to fall in love with me, it's only fair that you know what you are falling in love with. You are falling in love with insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall in love with my troubled past & my hopes and dreams, and how I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with my self-hate and all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me. But you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when I'm with you. The way I'll text you in the morning just telling you I hope you have a great day. The way I blush when people ask me about you. But to me, the most important thing will be; that you are falling in love with me. Despite my thinking that it is impossible.”
