I wonder if that’s why I love him, why I’ve fallen for him against all odds. He doesn’t tell me there’s nothing to be scared of, doesn’t say I’m being silly. He doesn’t even try to comfort me or ask me to clarify. He just tells me it’s okay, that my feelings are valid. He lets me trust my gut, lets me feel anything I’m feeling, then helps me work around it, not through it, when I’m ready.
