I know we may never belong to one another, but allow me this much.
Allow me to understand the desires you keep hidden from the world. Take off the mask. You do not have to be afraid with me.
I may not be the woman of your dreams, but perhaps I am the woman who understands your mind, your soul, and the parts of yourself you never speak about.
Let me be the place where your thoughts can wander freely, where your secrets require no explanation, and where your heart can rest without judgment.
You are not broken.
You are not something to be fixed.
You are simply longing to be understood.
And perhaps that is all any of us have ever wanted.
