If it were upto me, I would have held you tight and told you you’re doing great and I’m proud of you, but it’s not upto me, so, instead, I lock eyes with you and say “thank you”, hoping you’d understand anyway. Hoping I’m not giving you anymore emotions to carry, knowing the space between my brain and heart, between hello and I want you, between you and me, is all that I can give you to show you I care. If it were upto me I would have drowned you.
