i hope that i know what i'm doing.
but i guess we can never really know.
we step where we think we'll land solid,
safe and sound.
and we hold our breath, hoping that we've made the right choice.

but there is something in you,
that i know to be true.
and it's that something that keeps pulling me in, asking for more.
i can't name it, or describe it,
but it's deep within you and i only know that i want to be near it,
and you.

maybe we both needed to lose everything,
to realize what we wanted the most.
maybe we both needed to feel that pain and complete loss,
to learn how we wanted not to be.

so here we are, one year later,
deciding carefully how we want to be.
who we want to be in ourselves,
but also how our selves can fit back together, again.

will they understand?
probably not.
but in the end, what matters most is the me i want to be.
and she is honest and true to herself first,
and then finds the courage to be true, to them.
she is happy, and filled with love and appreciation.
excitement over the little things,
and profound passion for the great.
she is open and eager, ready to learn and grow.
and she is with someone who wants nothing more than to be on that same journey,
with her.

and they feel love.
