something about you

I've felt lost and disconnected the past couple days. This morning I couldn't find the keys to my apartment. Upon opening my door, I found them still in the lock.

I woke up this morning and could've sworn you were there a minute ago. I had this unshakable feeling you were there last night, cradled next to me, but it must've been a dream. I guess what I've meant to say all along is this: don't think my insecurities are your fault for a second. I alone am to blame for all the irrational fears, for the doubts, for the tears that you so beautifully brush away. Please accept my apologies, because you are nothing but wonderful and sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it.

Don't tear yourself down for my sake. Let me build you up, let me be your foundation. For you I will be strong. For you I will not be afraid anymore. For you I will shed these shreds of doubt that I stupidly cling to; I will cast them aside. I want these shadows that cloud everything to disappear. I'll trust this fact alone: I love you. More than anything. Nothing will change that.

With this new ideology, I take a step out of the door, bringing me closer to you.
