Fin
I've heard many times that patience is a virtue. I have the capacity to wait for long periods of time but not shorter ones. I've been waiting and stressing over a call I never get. So I chose not to anymore. I keep wondering if this decision is marked too much in my need to believe that I can walk away, like a false strength. Yet the other way I'm a fool. I can't keep yo-yoing back and forth, I'm putting my unsure foot down. Either way I go has the potential of happiness in the end but this way allows for so much more. I think it's scary falling in love for the first time and even more frightening the second. I don't want to be afraid anymore. I've grown so much in the past year and I need to keep growing because I'm still so far behind.
It's a shame it has to be this way. I was so comfortable and happy because I was always myself and always accepted as nothing less. But I won't wait for anyone, I will get what I want and not settle. It's an empowering sadness. Maybe some other time...

You can bite your lip as hard as you want
For days on end you can squeeze your eyes shut
You hide it so well but they'll be able to tell without a sob
You can fight any battle worth winning alone
But it will take years and it will take tears and blood
It will gradually creep and happily sneak the cruelest of crawls
It will take steady standing and fake many landings on all of your falls
Somedays a smile will somehow find you when you feel that long ago you died
And you swear you've given up again until you wake up alive
If you open the window you might as well open the door
Or are you afraid that no one's coming in anymore?
If what's inside for a second chance doesn't quite make the cut
Will you retreat into defeat and keep it forever shut?
You may not be alright but you'll make it all the same
Your fingers will be tired from pointing the blame
And bitterness makes your shell a little harder to crack
Makes it all worth the amount of blood you lack
