I don’t need you to be sure, I just need you to be real. Say it badly; say it scared or confused. But say it. There is no love in silence; only undue longing.

An Ambivalent Heart
I don’t need you to be sure, I just need you to be real. Say it badly; say it scared or confused. But say it. There is no love in silence; only undue longing.
Ambivalence masquerades as independence, until it bonds to the face. From the split second between protection and trust – where the nervous system still remembers danger, but the heart is asking to speak.
