“I’m taking your lead. I want more—so much more—but I’m not going there until you’re sure. I get that you’re scared, and that means I’ll stand here every day until that fear goes away. I’ll wait for you to be as sure as I am. I’m in this for the long run. I know what a year without you felt like after I found you the first time and I didn’t like it. I’m not making the same mistake twice.”
