What do I do if you said I love you.

I don't know how I would deal with something so completely real. I mean if someone where to tell me that they cared for me I would freak because I don't know if I am ready to handle that.
I would feel like a geek just standing there wanting to say something. I am scared to fall in love because well I have been hurt to many times. And each time I feel like something was taken from me and I  was once again left with nothing.
And so i reach out because I don't know what else to do. As I sit alone, as i pray to be with you. I think to myself, what if?
My dreams are so far away I can't just wait and wait. When you show me that life means so much more then I could ever think of. Do i dare that you how i feel?
But what if you don't care, what if I am hurt again? I ma so lost, running in this maze of thoughts that all turn into dead ends.
I have not a clue as in what I should do. Should I fight or let go of you? Because the feeling of no hope is long over due. I am scared to tell you how i feel, but if i could only get the words out of my mouth, I would tell you just one thing, three letters.
"I love you."
