please don't break my heart jared.

we've been dancing like this for over a year now.
you know about shelby.
you know about the baby.

and yet you still want me.

i'm so glad i told you everything those months ago.
it seems like that was what was holding me back, all my secrets. the reason why i left, why things could never be, everything shelby swore to me, i told you it all.
and you still want me.

please don't make me regret this.
fall and october and christmas and all this time has nothing to do with shelby. it has to do with you.
and that's more comforting than anyone can understand.
shelby didn't exist this time last year. but you did.
his memory isn't as sharp right now. i know that will change once january through june hits, but for now it's all fuzzy grayness.

don't play me.
i've already died this year.
and i WILL break you before you break me, if it comes to that.
i just want to sit on your back porch with you. watching the rain fall down, smoking cigarettes and laughing and being close. that's all.

it's what i need right now.
actually...it's what i want.
i choose you this time.

lets give this another shot. a real shot.

jared
