I take a beat to stare at the beauty in front of me, here for me, opening up for me in every way. I want to deserve her. I want to earn her. Most of all, I don’t want to hurt her by saying something too soon that I can’t back up. But I think I can try with her. I think I can toss out all my old beliefs and embrace new ones. But I need to be sure I won’t fail.
