I won’t make the same mistake.
Not again.
I won’t let this slip away.
Not like last time.
Failing to realize what I could have
become.
What we could have been.
But that was a different place,
a different time.
I cannot take the wonderings,
the what if’s,
the uncountable dreams,
of what could be.
Because I don’t love her like I loved you.
But I’m willing to try.
Even for a month.
Or less.
But I cannot try.
I may have failed,
100 times before this.
But if I, if we, succeed.
Then it all would be worth it.
Because I am not a coward.
I am whatever I deem myself worthy.
And I deserve this.
And I deem myself worthy of courage.
But most of all.
I not only want you.
I need you.
And this time.
You will know.
