An Aquarius once warned me not fall in love with her. She warned me that every day, she battles with the feeling of not being enough, or that she fears that she isn't exactly living, but existing. She looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes of hers and told me if I could ever love someone like so.

An Aries once warned me not to fall in love with her. Her emotions get the best of her, when she's angry, she's angry. When she's sad, she'll get angry at the fact that she's sad. Her emotions ruined majority of past relationships, and yet she held onto my hand so softly, and looked at me as if she's begging me to stay.

A Cancer once warned me not to fall in love with her. Her mind is a terrible place. She over thinks too much, and the part that bothers her the most is that she overthinks her overthinking, and how jumbled everything is. She laughs at how she addressed it to me. I loved the way she smiles. I loved her the moment she told me at how the first time I asked her out for a cup of coffee, she was hesitant to open the door, and played 2 ways just to introduce herself.

A Capricorn once warned me not fall in love with her. She doesn't like the fact that she overshares everything about her the first time she feels like the person could be trusted. How many times she has opened up to somebody and that person has used something of her back. She explained how many times she had to cut people off, and only a few she could trust. I smiled at her and told her that she's opening up to me right now. She laughed a little and gently placed a hand on my cheek.. "I am.. because.. I think.. I am falling for you.."

A Gemini once warned me not to fall in love with her. She says she's a mess. She hated that. I told her I know how much Geminis get the end of the stick when it comes to being them, she scowled at that fact. She told me she isn't just her sign, but she just hates that she's a mess. She realizes how she can change her mood and look at outcomes differently. She loves the fact that she can gamble with life as she sees fit. She hates being tied down with what people think of as the norm. She breaks values and all. She told me she's a mess, but I love every thing she stands up for.

A Leo once warned me not to fall in love with her. She told me that she has a problem with being too selfish. She told me how she can't share something that she values so much with anyone. Her time. Her works. Her mind. Her love. Her soul. She laughed at the last part, but she was very serious. She looked at me and smiled softly and said "you're mine, okay? So.. don't go off anywhere.."

A Libra once warned me not to fall in love with her. She told me she hated the fear of the unknown. She fears too much about life and it sends her on overdrive when she starts to think about things. She hates having to think that she has to depend on someone when she knows that anybody could leave in an instant. She explains that people either come into your life as a lesson or a blessing. She looked at me and asked me, "what will you be I wonder..?"

A Pisces once warned me not to fall in love with her. When she feels, she feels with every bit of her being--to the point where she gets sick of thinking and feeling too much. Oh how she wishes that she didn't have to feel so much, and envied those that can turn their emotions off in an instant. But I loved how she would grab my arm and get teary eyed at the thought of a sad puppy, or that one time we passed by an elderly couple who shared a sweet kiss, and she gushed about it the whole night..

A Sagittarius once warned me not fall in love with her. She said she can be a bit impulsive. She says it's bad for her when she does things out of impulse. She gives too much, or she offers what ever she can to help others in need. She laughs at the thought. I asked her if she ever regretted meeting me, and asked if it was impulse that we're here now. She shook her head and smiled, "You're the best thing that I've come across.."

A Scorpio once warned me not to fall in love with her. She warned me time and time again not to fall for her, but as she she explains to me as to why. I could never get a direct answer. Until finally she broke down and cry. She told me that she didn't want to fall too hard for someone like me, and she hated it. she hates feeling this way.. because she's afraid that I will get tired of her eventually. I reassured her I won't. She looked at me with the most hopeful look in her eyes and said, "Promise..?"

A Taurus once warned me not to fall in love with her. She tells me when she loves, she will love me until the ends of time. She told me she loved the idea of love, and anything people thought was corny was different for her. She once shared some written letters that she didn't send out from an old love of hers. She said it was too corny. I read one (that she let me), and smiled. She basically gushed about how she was so happy to have him in her life.. she grabbed the letter and placed it to her chest and smiled. a very sad smile. "I hope, you won't think of me as corny..", she said.

A Virgo once warned me not to fall in love with her. She said she was wasn't fit to love. That she hated emotions. She hated feelings. She never liked the idea of being in love, or the fact that people get weak and be so vulnerable. She can't grasp that. But I realized she loved once. She probably has and it turned on her, and now she's scared to go through it again. I asked her about it. She admitted that she once loved, and now she doesn't know how to anymore. But I asked her if we can try again. I told her, "I can fix that.." "I hope you can," she said "because I really like you.."

Warnings.
