it has taken a year and a half, and I have seen you at your best and at your worst, as you have seen me. I have been hurt by you, and I have hurt you, although I rarely mean to, (I know you didn't mean it either.) you have what I need, and everything else I want, I can find for myself. do you remember telling me this wasn't a relationship? do you remember the first time? do you remember how far we have come? from the days of what will they say if they ever find out the truth to now. I think it was your own reflection you were afraid of: how do I look next to her? you look great next to me, and I look great next to you: we are a well-matched pair. for all of my confidence, all the bravada, I feared to love you. for all your trepidation, all the shyness, you did not fear to love me and so it grows, like the faith of trees, like a vine scribed on yellow vellum, too real to be ink and pigment, even if that's how it is expressed. verily, I feel like you have taught me love: opened the door to the other half of life, and I want to step through, but not without you. |
