I have every reason to back out if I need to.
What have men ever brought me?
Every kiss brought with it a surge of pain,
every previous love a filthy little heart cancer.
But something about you compels me
to be brave and let love be.
Okay.
One more try.
I wrote this last week. Perhaps ironically, he broke up with me last night.
