to have my heart open up to a person, i admit, is not easy. especially when it is so vulnerable and often so close to the edge of pain, i would only choose to close it up even tighter. yet, when i am willing to open my heart for you, it means more than what words can possibly explain.

it was the first time i have ever talked heart-to-heart with you in person. other days when i do see you, i never had the chance..never had the time; but this time was different. i cannot erase the image of you holding me in your arms and wiping away my tears. i cannot forget the way your eyes looked at me and the sound of your voice beside me when it spoke. and i felt as if this was the day when i finally poured out the heart’s words i have always stored away.

perhaps this is how it feels to release myself completely to the heart of another. there is no fear, no holding back. before, i have always believed that crying is a sign of weakness; but now, i see it as a sign of strength. to be unafraid of feeling the truth, that’s courage.

i rarely cry for anyone and neither do you. but the moment you placed my hand on your face, i felt it was wet. and because of me, it was the first time i saw you cry.
