     I see you there. You are always there. Just standing there in the distance.  You wave to me. It seems as though you notice me when I'm in the shadows. It seems as though you really care.
     For once in my life, I can let go. For once in my life, I feel free. For once in my life, I do not have to hide; I do not have to pretend that everything is just fine.
     You made my mask crack. You made my mask crumble. You made my mask split in two.
     You assured me that life gets better. You promised to always be there. For the first time in my life, I believed what you said to be true.
     So far, you have been true to your word and have stood by me ever since day one. You have never given me reason to revert to my old ways of hiding.
     That is what scares me the most though. You have my heart in your hand. The next move is yours and yours alone. Please, do not hurt me. I do not want to hurt again. The pain is overbearing.
     I do not want to let go of you. I do not ever want to fucking let go.
Change is scary. Trust is scarier.
So many people have been chipping away at my mask this year and it's scary.

Why does it seem the things we were taught are the hardest to trust in, including trust and change...I also hate change...it can be good, but most often, it's not...Just so you know, i'll keep waiting...I'll wait for you to find you...and hopefully we'll both meet as new 'butterfly's'...
