neither one of us..

..wants to be the first to say, 'hey maybe we can give it a shot.'

but it's too infantile of me to say i have my pride. because you're the difference between liking and loving. if you can have this effect on me after all these years, then certainly there has to be more to the insistence of your eyes than what meets them.

i just want you to hold me. because the truth of the matter is, at the end of the day, i'm weaker than i would suppose. far from expecting you to make sense of all my mess, it's just the thought that you'll be there when this chore becomes too much that makes the task more bearable.
