So, of course there's this boy.
And of course it's complicated.
He tells me he wants me, but he's burned me before.
I really want to like him, but I'm afraid, again, he'll just leave me at the door.
He's so sweet, but underneath that thin layer is a line of deceit.
Friends say he's changed, now this I'd like to see. Guess I'll find out the next time he sees me.
I'm so afraid of getting hurt; to our old ways I secretly wish we could revert.
And then I see him. And all of those memories flood in an instant, and I don't have time to regain myself. He's coming my way, and I quickly set aside my raw emotions on a mental shelf.
"Hey." he says. "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. For everything I did. And I really want to try again." and that's all. Just 20 small words, put together in a way that slowed down the earth around me, just for a moment. And....I don't know what to say.
