My favorite way to punish myself for existing
Is holding onto people I should've already let go.

Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me how chaos feels.
Because otherwise, I may not have taken a leap with someone "boring"--someone who is consistent, reliable, and honest.
Thank you for showing me that "boring" is exactly what I need.
It was you. It was always you.
You were always the one I would've chosen.
And you chose someone else.
Can we just
Pretend we never met
And start all over?

The thing about him is
I'm not "crazy" about him
But it turns out that's a good thing.
He and I--
We see each other fully.
We disagree.
We say ugly words to each other.
We struggle to understand.
But
We still love.
Every time I want to run away,
He shocks me.
He shocks me back to life
By staying even when it's hard--
Even when my emotions are tidal waves
That knock us both over.
He stays.
He stays
And weathers the storms with me.
He stays
And treads water with me.
He
Stays.
They say I dodged a bullet, but why can't I believe it?
