in another life, i would be courageous.
i would hold your hands and tell you: “i didn’t fall in love with you at first sight, but i knew then that you would be important to me — and you are. and i love you. i don’t think it’s gonna go away any time soon.”
in another life, i would be brave enough to share with you the weight of my battered heart, and you would be brave enough to share yours with me.
in another life, i would love myself enough to deserve you.
…
and i’m sorry that i can give you that version of me yet, in our current life. but one thing stands true: i love you, and i still think it’s not gonna go away any time soon.
