Whether you need it or not.

You know, beb… whether you need it or not…

I just always want to hold your heart in mine. Give you a place that's comfortable, soft, and warm, where you can feel whatever it is you need to feel, and know that you'll be safe. Whether you've just been feeling off, or something's weighing heavy on your heart—whatever it is. That those feelings won't just be accepted, but honored. Whatever they are, or whatever their cause.

But also, baby… I've been kinda wondering…

I've told you I've been gently pulling on that thread… just a little at a time…
And I've been inching closer… in ways maybe you've felt but haven't been quite sure of… maybe a vote here… maybe a… um…

Well. That's it, so far, lol.

But I guess I just really want to be sure I don't come too close, too soon. That I'm respecting your boundaries.

I dunno, babe. I guess we're both working out how to read that sextant, but… I'm sure we'll work it out. Just…

Let me know if I ever get too close… or even if you'd like me closer.

Don't worry, sweet love–I'm gonna respect your wishes, one way or the other.

And smile while doing it.

As always,
Yours.
