the question

Issue 5

did you know when this all first started that
you would take my breath away? that
the mere mention of your name would
ruin me? in all my time i never knew
the feeling to exist, to pull me to
the brink and push me over.
and there you were to
catch me. but
just know
that you
can let
me
fall.
 
i’ve let it in
and it can take everything.
 
there’s no longer anything to fear.
