Why won't you let me in? Why do you have to fear me? All I want is to hold you, hold you tight and never let go. Goddess bless the distance. It is the only thing that keeps me from doing the stupid romantic things I want to do. I wish I could show you my heart, cut it free of my chest and give it to you gift wrapped. Would you treasure it? Most of me thinks that you would, but there is that logical part of my mind that says you are a coward.
A young coward. A wonderful young coward. A funny wonderful young coward. A smart funny wonderful young coward. A gentle funny wonderful young coward. A caring smart funny wonderful young coward.
I want to forget you. Forget that I can feel so good.
I wish you understood. It is not always like this. It hurts. Oh god it hurts. When you let someone in and they turn you away, when they tell you that your love is not enough, it is not what they wanted, it does not go with their completion. Have you ever been so completely denied? Has anyone ever cut you so deeply you wished that you could just bleed out and die? It is not the same as hating yourself. Have you ever loved yourself and been told that you are not good enough? Have you ever looked in the mirror in the morning and thought about how good you feel, how everything is going to go your way, and then walked up to that person who you trust, who is supposed to love you and have them cut you to pieces? How can you understand my fears? How can you understand the eagerness and the dread?
I want you. I love you. I need you. And I hate you for it. I want to forget you. I do not want to let you in. I do not want to give you that sort of power, but here you are and you will be loved. You horrible little coward. You will be loved, no matter how I try to lie and make you something you are not, you will be loved. You are so brave, so damned brave and honorable. You are so good.
