What if

There was a time when I asked for this. I was bored, lonely, restless..And for faar too long I might add. I needed something to experience in the terms of romance. I was happy to focus on work and school. (For a while at least).. I missed my friends and my family. (And still do)
What I wanted was something to occupy my free time. Something other than entertaining myself... That is what made me happy, but I realized I needed someone new to get involved with. Maybe it is fair to say I wanted to "spice things up" a bit.

I have never been afraid to get involved with someone new, I was just very satisfied with being alone. No one worth my time has come along that I was willing to make an effort for. Sure, there has been interests, but nothing more.

That is until recently. It was very friendly with a crush in both directions...nothing more. Cuddling was what we anticipated, and that was fine..We never spoke of intimacy or dating or romanticizing. I felt that it was possible, or, it was possible on my end at least. We met and it took a couple days to get over the shyness. "Why are you so cute and shy? Am I the only one you are like this with?" Who knows...

We hung out almost everyday. Once we were comfortable around each other, it was amazing. I honestly could not stop smiling for a week and half. Was this what I have been waiting for for almost two years? Maybe this is someone I that can build up my confidence again.

Fuck, shot down. That is usually how it goes.. This time I was ready though! This is what I wanted. This is what I want. Sure, we have a ways to go. You say you aren't ready for this, and that is fine. I won't pressure you. But why not give it a chance? You didn't even give me a chance. Your back story is shitty, and I am sorry you went through that. But let me be someone that can help. What you need is to be treated right. What you need is a REAL emotional connection. A GOOD one!

I wasn't afraid this time, and that is why it sucks.

Just know that I can stop whenever you want to stop. I can go whenever you want to go. I have that freedom. I have all the freedom in the world right now! I want to help. And I know you don't want help. Not from me.. But I am still here, and not going anywhere. So why not use me? I consider myself strong. I can get through anything. I have the greatest friends and the best family I could ask for. That is all I need... But not all I want...

I don't care about broken hearts. I don't care about moving on. I don't care about depression. I care about you. I care about an experience.
What if I'm different? What if you can change? What if this is what you need?
What if we never find out? That is what I am worried about..

it's always interesting to read someone else's thoughts and feel like you're reading your own. i know all too well how you feel, what you're going through, and wish you the best of luck with this person that you've found. i haven't heard from mine in a couple months now.. but i've written it off as a 'not meant to be' in hopes that it's the truth.
you're a great writer, by the way. and, though i don't know you in the slightest bit, i have to say that you seem to be a rare kind. don't ever change. especially for someone else.
