you gave me butterflies. :)

i don’t understand you. you have so much potential, why do you let it go to waste?  i hate the image that you have given yourself because i know that you have shown me who the true you is.  i know you say you don’t care, but how can that be? you’ve told me thats not the truth.  why don’t you let the rest of the world see it? sure, you have your flaws, but everyone does. i wish you could understand how much i have grown to care for you in such a short amount of time. even though you have hurt me in the past, i think i can forgive you. there’s something about you that intrigues me. i don’t know what it is. i think its partially that you have really opened yourself up to me and shed the “tough” attitude that you give off. the people around me criticize because they cant fathom that you are a different person when you’re around me. but in the back of my mind, a little part of me wonders if its an all act. if you’re playing me because you know i have faith in you. that scares me. i want to believe that that isn’t the case, but i know some of the shady things you’ve done in the past. i don’t want to believe that that is the real you, but i don’t know for sure. i’m giving you the chance that so many others have given up on. don’t walk away on me if i start to fall- i’ve been there to catch you.
