Afraid Quote by Anonymous
“When I first saw you I was afraid to talk to you, when I first talked to you I was afraid to like you, when I first liked you I was afraid to love you, now that I love you I am afraid to lose you! I would rather be hated for who I am then be loved for who I aint!.. Sometimes we build up walls, not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to bring them down! You were born unique so dont die a copy! If looking back scares you, and if looking forward scares you to, then look beside you and I will always be there for you!.. If I could be anything in the world, I would be a tear, so I could be born in your eye, live on your cheek and die on your lips. If you live to be a hundred years old, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
