The Conversation

“Okay, I need you to just shut up and listen to me for a minute…

I’ve lived so much of my life in fear and I always hold back and that’s the reason I have two failed marriages… because I’m never COMPLETELY honest with anyone, including myself… I’m tired of being afraid all the time, and I’m tired of holding back, so I’m trying this new thing where I just put stuff out there… and I really wanted to tell you this is person, not over the phone…. but I’m afraid to tell you because it might change things or complicate things, and I really don’t want it to ruin what we’ve got…. but damn it, I’m just going to say it because I’ve been struggling with it for a very long time, and I need you to know…

I love you, and I’ve loved you for a very long time.”

(Silence.)

“You can talk now.”

“Angel, I never stopped loving you.”
