Spending three days with you meant more to me than I realized, especially when it came time for us to part. I didnt want to say melancholy words, which was why I walked away first. You said you would like for me to tell you everything, that it would be my prerogative, but if I did that, would you let me in as well? You cannot expect me to tell you things if you do not ask questions.
I would like to trust you, have you get to know me, but that would mean that I would have to let my guard down and take a chance. It would mean without a doubt, that you could hurt me, even if you say you dont have intentions, its still a possibility. If I let you dig your shovel into my soul, would you let me do the same? Would you give me the opportunity to get to know you too? I dont want to give and get nothing in return.
I dont mean to sound selfish, but I dont want to be led on and thrown away when I am no longer seen as a convenience to you. I know you do not think like that, but I cannot help think of the negative aspect of everything, when pain is all I have ever known. Show me I can feel something different for a change.
I would love to tell you my secrets, love to tell you my flaws and for you to discover how I tick. I would love for you to be there as you were when I was the most scared I have ever been in my life. It was your confidence in the situation that got me through that difficult time. You were the one that stayed by my side. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been for you, realizing I chose the wrong person, seeing us together and wanting to change the outcome of the situation, but having no power to do so.
I am sorry for hurting you. If it is any consolation, I saw you first. You made me laugh and spoke to me first over him. I can still picture you next to me in the car laughing, sharing a drink and then after, lying at the edge of the creek, stretched out in your black clothes, arms behind your head catching the sunlight. I smiled over at you, but your eyes were closed.
Its been six months and so far you have not let me down.
You even drove five hours to come and see me in the snow to escort me to a formal dance. You stayed by my side for three days and two nights. You are the second boy I have allowed myself to sleep next to and I have never felt safer, free to be myself. I even let you put your hands around my throat, put your hands on my chest and squeeze life back into me. You have no idea the impact you made on me when we first met.
I still have yet to decide how far to let you in, but you must know, if you dont already, that I care and I have cared for a long time. Allow me to get to know you. I will understand if, once you get to know me you conclude that I am not what you are looking for. All I ask is that no matter what happens we can still be friends.
Wouldnt it be kind of romantic if we found ourselves in each other?
*knock on wood* what's meant to be, will be...one way or another I believe.
I finally understand this quote,
"Love is giving someone the power to destroy you...but trusting them not to."
"There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?"
