• update: it was too late
  • and then it wasn’t
  • and then it really was
  • but i am free now (i think)
  • the fear is persistent, but so am i
  • and even more persistent is the one that loves me, no matter how afraid i am
  • they arrived as soon as i let go of the one that was too afraid of loving me
  • i have never wondered how they felt about me
  • never yearned, pined, agonized over it
  • there has never been a need to
  • it’s not that they aren’t afraid of loving me
  • it’s that they’re brave enough to do it anyway
  • it’s what i deserved all along
