on remembering

"You tried to change didn�t you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do, love
split his head open?
you can�t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love."
� �For Women Who Are Difficult to Love,� Warsan Shir

a few times this weekend, i'd just think, i'm so glad i met you. i really like you. i said it once, while we were walking around the zoo, him telling me how happy he was.

and last night, what are you thinking about? you. this weekend. remembering.

then he said, "k, this might be too soon, but i'm completely falling in love with you." and, "i hope i don't scare you away," in a whisper.

just tell me more about summer vacations, all the places, crosswords. is this something i should tell my friends? all the thoughts running through my head. what am i supposed to say back? well. "that makes me happy."
