I FEAR…(NOT BEING SEEN)

Day 7 /
The thing(s) you’re most afraid of

It’s silly.
But true.
I am most afraid that he won’t see me.
That one day he won’t kiss me goodbye, or kiss me hello.
That he won’t laugh at my silly over-dramatizations or think my smile is beautiful.

I am afraid that one day he won’t want to snuggle me, or call out for me when he’s afraid.
That his competitive and stubborn nature will conflict with my own.
That he won’t think I’m the sun, the moon and the stars.

I fear that someday she won’t need my advice or my warm embrace.
That her girlfriends will become her shelter instead of my arms.
Or that a silly boy will break her heart.

I fear that I will turn his tender heart toward my more competitive and stubborn ways.
That I will somehow rob him of his gentle nature, unintentionally.
That his siblings will walk all over him and he will still think the world of them,
because he is the sweet one.
