Heβs real. Oh God, heβs so real, and I can hear the memory in my head because he thinks Iβm brave and strong, and I want to tell him Iβm not, that he sees something in me thatβs not there, that Iβm weak and scared, and I donβt think Iβm good enough for him, but I want to try. I want to try and be the person he thinks I am, because if he thinks I can do it, then maybe, just maybe itβs possible, just maybe itβs true, and I need him to help show me who I am. I need him to show me what I could be.
