Harder... Easier...
Its not harder to tell someone how you feel about them. That's not the hard part. It may seem like it because of all the body shaking and heart pounding and breath quickening but its not.
The hard part is all the shit that happens after you tell them how you feel.
You have to deal with the way that deliberately make you jealous and when they intentionally hurt you just because they know they can. Because really, that's what really sucks. Once you tell them how you feel, everything changes.
You're giving someone the power to break your heart with just one word and trusting them not to.
See? It'd be easier to hide your feelings and keep your heart intact. Sure... It'll hurt seeing them so happy with someone else, while every inch of your heart and soul screams at you that the person beside them should be you.
But... At least you'd know that you won't get hurt. Because it does hurt. Hurts like hell. Everything falls apart inside of you and... Your heartbeat ripples through your body at the sound of their voice.
So yeah... The harder way, isn't as hard as you think.
