Okay,” he said. He took a breath. “What would you do, if you could do anything?”
I took a step toward him, closing the space between us.
“This,” I said. And then I kissed him.
Kissed him. There, in the middle of the street, as the world went on around us.

Letting you go
wasn’t easy because I got over you. On the contrary, I knew there was no more I could do. I’d put in my 400%. There was nothing left to give to you other than to let you go.
She’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin’ late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
But there’s a secret garden she hides
She’ll let you in her car
To go drivin’ round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That’ll bring you down
She’ll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don’t think twice
You’ve gone a million miles
How far’d you get
To that place where you can’t remember
And you can’t forget
She’ll lead you down a path
There’ll be tenderness in the air
She’ll let you come just far enough
So you know she’s really there
She’ll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

You came so softly
into my life I didn’t realize you’d taken a seat in my life. You frequented my heart so often but I didn’t realize that you’d slowly started to take a seat in the front row. Why didn’t you just speak out and let me know you were there instead of waiting so patiently for me to recognize you? It took me too long; as softly as you came, you left. I let you leave. I WATCHED you leave to be exact. I hope it wasn’t nearly as hard for you as it was for me. I hope you don’t think of me even half as much as I still think of you.
