It's not a moment of weakness when it comes from the heart or the subconscious dreaming brain-- when it's the truth that's being expressed, written and read and thought about over and over and over again.

It's not moments of weakness when your palms get sweaty thinking about or being around someone-- when your heart races, when your breathing's erratic, and when logic isn't prevalent but the want to make that person happy with you is.

It's not easy admitting these feelings when someone else's may get hurt-- when you feel like you'll just be getting in the way of things, messing up what's fine and going good.

It's not weak when you're in love with someone.

It's weak when we're unable to face what is happening-- due to fear, sparing each other, or otherwise.

It's weak to lie, to steal, to cheat-- physically, mentally, and emotionally.


It's weak not being able to talk about things, unable to communicate and express the situation, unable to admit when you're going to hang out with her-- avoidance doesn't make it less true.

It's weak to keep clinging onto something that obviously was never meant to last from the start-- we expected it to end that summer, we expected it to be just a classically fun seasonal summer fling, and we were too hesitant to love each other.

It's weak to hold you back like a caged bird even when you don't think I am-- even if you are happy with me, even if you do love me as you say you do, it's not the same as what you two had and still have.

It's weakening to hold things back-- to yourself, to me, to our relationship.

So let me give strength to your moment of 'weakness'-- because I'm letting you go, follow your heart.

Because it's never weak when you're in love with someone.
