This is for the ones who stopped taking risks.
This is for you who used to be brave at free falling; someone who always had the guts to try something new for the nth time around; to you who once had those burning desire in their eyes; to you who had set aside your fears for people you thought were the cure of your phobias.
This is for you who thought everyone is worth risking for including that boy you met at the pub; to you who was never afraid to unfold the stories of your scars and tattoos to someone you just met online; to you who believed that first kiss when you're both drunk was still romantic; to you who hoped that you could find forever in one night.
This is for you who went crazy before tapping that wave button; to you who texted "Hi" first and received a reply after two days; to you who called again the next day but now ended up in voicemail; to you who stayed up until midnight and waited for late short replies.
This is for you who defied your parents, your curfew, your study habits, your so-called 'standards', and the stupid things you promised you'd never do again.
This is for you who said "I love you" first and the second, third, and worse, all the damn time without hearing back the same words. This is for you who once never ran out of what-if's.
This is for you who wasted your time reading until the end of this shit. My love, I am here to remind you of your old self. I am writing this to let you know that I am like you and there are million of souls out there who also took a break at being brave and fearless. And I am not here to tell you to bring back right now the person you used to be. No. Just let her remain in your closet for now. You deserve the break you chose to have.
I am here to tell you it's okay to be afraid, to be skeptical, to have second thoughts, and to make sure you don't get hurt again.
