Sometimes I feel like a fool for reaching out to you, for exposing to you the depths of my heart. But other times I do it fearlessly, for I know that if I were to keep myself silent, I would regret that more than if I spoke and was ignored.

At least by reaching out to you I know that I am doing everything I can to keep you and I'm not just giving up.

I have failed at other things in my life for lack of trying, but this will not be one of those things. If we do not succeed at least I know I gave it my all. And I can be proud of myself for that.

that was then - this is now
