It was real for me too.
When I first saw you I knew, I knew I had to say something. It bubbled in my mind while you carried the hard exterior you did and I said it. I watched your face light up as I made you laugh. I didn’t know what it was but I felt like we had already met. I had no expectation just curiosity of what felt familiar. I just wanted to understand, and for the brief period of days we went back and forth this comfortably between two people who had become so comfortable within their solitude found something.
I gave you grace as I extend the same to anyone I’m genuinely curious about.
But I’m just tired of trying to bridge the gap for those too consumed by their own fear to take a leap of faith.
I am appreciative of the connection however small it was because it reminded me that I could feel. Thank you, have a nice life.
