The One.


Today I told the guy I'm talking to something I have told nobody before. He makes me feel safe, like everything will be okay. He makes me feel like my pain should not be something that makes me feel fear. He told me he understands, He told me he was sorry because he didn't know how to respond. But I told him to not worry about it, because it was perfect, just the way it was.
