Gaining courage

Time and space are pretty silly, and I know we agree on that much. Finding things we don’t agree on is one of the things I love about our conversations. One of these days I swear I will have enough guts in me to tell you how I feel, instead of what I think. I’m rather convinced you already know anyway, but I’m willing to wait so that I can look you in the eyes and tell you the whole truth. Between now and that moment, I will wait, more gladly and more patiently than I have ever waited for anything. The next conversation and the next hug between us are more worth the wait to me, every time. Now please hurry up and come back! —Still Growing
