I’m afraid to fall in love again
because it feels disloyal.
Like if I do it meant I didn’t love him as much as I said I did
as much as I know I did.
But what else is there to do?
I loved a boy
in very many ways we grew up together.
The difference is his demons out ran him
and I had to stick around to face mine.
That doesn’t mean I love him any less for moving forward.
I love it for its universality and simple, penetrating prose.
I hate it because it strikes so close to the mark.
