How to Love You

Loving someone deeply often begins with friendship, where feelings grow quietly over time. Admitting those emotions takes bravery, a step not everyone is ready to take. The fear of losing what you already have can outweigh the desire for something more. In my heart, I cherish you too much to risk what we share. This journey of loving you has taught me hesitation, leaving me stuck as a hesitant learner. Every moment with you is precious, yet the thought of change terrifies me. Perhaps staying as friends is the safer path, even if my heart longs for more. The lessons of love are complex, and I find myself struggling to keep up. For now, I’ll remain in the shadows, afraid to disrupt the bond we’ve built. Loving you quietly might be the only way I know how.
