how do I tell my mother that I am a lot happier than I used to be The tall man that comes to see me weekly His long fingers , moving around the guitar strings He tells me that I’m too pretty and I always wonder if he has told this to other women He calls me daily He says I’m his priority I was afraid at first as I was trying to establish bigger boundaries The boundaries are still there But I’ve never been happier I can listen to his voice and his guitar all day as long as I don’t push myself further For the very first time I don’t feel the pain that I used to feel from any men And I really think that’s what matters the most in this different city
