To boldly ask someone--a friend, a stranger, a lover--to abandon apprehension is a large request, as with time it seems that we grow wary of others and protective of our hearts (as we should).

But I envision us not as victims or causalities of love, but survivors hoping to find peace.




You are not an experiment; you are a beautiful person and I am not careless. If anything, I err on the side of caring too much.
