Trust Issues

Dear Boaz,

Palms sweaty, heart racing,
so close to hyperventilating-
With an emergency exit already in sight,
I've got the escape plan in place for the flight
On edge, uneasy, I'm awkward with my feet
Where's the ground? I can hardly breathe-

Ready to bolt at a moment's notice
I'm

Curious, my Heart wants to stay
Anxious, my Mind wants to run
Conflicted, confused by these emotions
Terrified, to show any vulnerability

Is it worth the risk to go all in?
Who really likes the possibility of losing?
Is it worth the danger of hopes crushed?
Who really likes the possibility of pain?
Maybe the deeper issue I grapple with... my inability to trust...?


When we finally meet, please be patient with me... experiences have lead me to be so guarded it'll be hard sometimes to figure me out... don't stop trying... because really, I might actually like you, I'm just afraid to show it.

Yours Always,
Ruth
