Pushover.

I wasn't going to give this a chance
It didn't really seem right
but I was being, stupidly, presumptuous.

I keep saying "it looked good on paper"
about the failed attempts.

Failed attempts do teach, if nothing else.

Ego gets in the way
If it doesn't make sense to me, it can't be real.

A fool, I am.

Something new arrives
different, comfortable -
stupid, it would be, not to try.

Trying not to rush
not to push
to just be honest

Wondering, always.

Somehow
without realizing it
not over-thinking.

Not over-analyzing.

Putting the left brain on the back burner.

Holding on.

I will never know your pain (or so I hope)

You, always so strong, believing you don't have the strength

I can't call the desire selfish, I know it too well

I can't let go, though

Keeping you here has taken so much, more than I had

I know some things are inevitable,

but part of me will go with you when the time comes.
