I can live with the not knowing.
Im fine with the what ifs.
decisions based on a gut feeling.
But I'll never know where that conversation would've  went.
Its possible I'd smile, it's a chance the words could've seared all the way through.
I'm fine with tearing away before you could, if you were going to.
Now I can still escape while saving face.
Never taking the paths of vulnerability.
Falling for someone new isn't certain.
The reality that pain is a possibility.
