i need to know i can say no because my lips keep forming words like 'yes,' or, 'i love you,' and, 'its alright'.
remember how i said i wanted someone to look out for me, to hold my hands? maybe i'm not so sure i want that anymore.
maybe what i really do want is to stand on my broken heels without having hands reach out to me just in case i fall, to run as fast as my blistered feet can carry me without worrying where i'm headed or how i'll find my way back.
maybe i just want to be lost.
because i need to be lost so that maybe, i can learn to like this feeling now.
