Literary Piece: I Must Be Sure

Originally written: November 19, 2009

If I pursue my heart’s call for you, I must be sure that I won’t be at the losing end.

If I said “I love you”, I must be sure that I will be brave enough to accept whatever the consequence will be.

If I put my trust in you, I must be sure that you won’t take me for granted.

Because I’ve tried falling in love before, and I came to know that it isn’t always filled with happiness, with pleasure. Fates play you well and the play you cruel. Love will crush your pride even if it will put endless happiness in your path.

So I must be sure with you. I must be sure because I don’t want another misfortune, another heartache. With you, I want things to be right.
