my biggest fear

he sat me down, looked me in the eyes, and asked me what i was afraid of. sure i may be afraid of dying but that wasn't it, i'm afraid of wasting away precious time, no not that either. i'm afraid of being alone in the ocean, though we were close into land. i'm afraid of not reaching my expectations, i'm afraid of being disappointed and others being disappointed in me. i'm afraid of the future, what it holds, what i'll be. i'm afraid of what people really think of me. but as i looked into his eyes my heart folded in two, the realisation struck me. my biggest fear is you replacing me, holding somebody else, looking at her how you look at me. my biggest fear is losing you, and becoming a faint memory. and i'm afraid that things will never be the same again.
