Question

You’re not like the others,
and that’s what scares me most.

You’re the boy who listens
when my thoughts trip over themselves,
who doesn’t roll his eyes
at the way I talk too much
and then suddenly shut down.

With you,
I don’t have to audition
for my own life.
I don’t have to choose
which version of me to be.
I can be the quiet one,
the loud one,
the sad, messy, real one
and you still stay.

You don’t judge the cracks,
the bad days,
the stories I tell you
in a shaky voice.
You just say,
“I’m still here,”
like it’s the easiest thing
in the world.

You’re not here for looks,
for bragging rights,
for some temporary rush.
You don’t treat me
like a prize you can win
and then put on a shelf.
You treat me
like a person
with a heart,
with a history,
with feelings that matter.

And that’s why I’m afraid.

I’m afraid one day
you’ll realize
you could choose someone
simpler,
lighter,
someone who doesn’t overthink
every text,
every silence,
every tiny change in your voice.

I’m afraid
you’ll decide my scars
are too complicated,
that my fears
are too loud,
that my walls
are too high.

I’m afraid of waking up
and finding out
you stopped being
the safe place
I run to.

Because you’re the one boy
who understands
the parts of me
I usually hide,
who sees all the chaos
and still says
“I like you this way.”

You make it feel possible
to just be myself
without shrinking,
without apologizing,
without pretending
to be less.

So I hold our moments close
the late-night talks,
the stupid jokes,
the way you remember
little things I said
weeks ago.

I’m learning, slowly,
that loving someone
doesn’t have to mean
losing myself in fear.
That maybe
I can trust what I see:
a boy who isn’t like the rest,
who chooses me
for me.

And even though
a part of me still worries
you’ll leave,
another part whispers
maybe,
just maybe,
you’re the one
who stays.

This one is called "Afraid of losing you" if not obvious, it is about a boy lol. We became really close this year, instantly clicked, when we first met we were both in separate relationships. I honestly never thought i'd catch feelings for him, but we were both in a dark place after we had both gotten broken up with. it wasn't the usually, "I like you" then start dating, we took our time. We already knew so much about each other since we had become so close because of friendship. I never thought he would be more than just my best friend, but now i'm more than grateful to call him my bestfriend and my boyfriend. We both have the same wants in a relationships, we are both 2 teenagers battling mental health issues. i've never been more terrified the night i almost lost him because of it. I called our friend and my older brother crying sm they couldn't understand me, i could barely get out the words "Aiden is saying goodbye" they were confused and i had to clarify that it wasn't him breaking up with me, but far worse. I don't know what kind of person i'd be or if i'd even still be here if he had left. I called him, it took him a couple times to answer. i simply told him you don't have to say a word but pls listen to what i have to say. then i went on a rant about how much of an amazing person he was, and how he can always come to me for anything. and that he can cry even if he was raised to think if he cries it makes him less of a man when it rlly doesn't. i hate the parents are raising their sons to think that showing emotions makes you less of a man BECAUSE IT DOES NOT!!
