I want it back

I hate feeling weak. And my whole life, I’ve thought that if I really truly expressed everything I felt about someone to them, it would be like exposing myself. It would be like taking down this strong barrier and exposing me, making me weak. I think 
I’ve opened up to you more than I’ve opened up to anyone 
You make me feel like I can take down the barrier. And I don’t feel like I have to be strong.
I feel completely exposed around you. Completely and totally naked. 
I’ve always thought to love was to be weak, but that’s not true.
If you love someone and they love you back, you are strong. Being in love makes you strong.
If you love someone but they don’t feel the same, that’s when you’re weak.  Its Like giving yourself away and being left with nothing. 
That’s why I feel so weak and petrified to open up to you now. 
Because if I keep giving and giving my love to you
I know there will be nothing left.
I just wish I could take my heart back. 
I just don’t want to feel weak anymore.
