I tried
I do not know if I did the right thing, but at least I tried. He promised not to mock me. I only hope that maybe, just maybe, someday, he can honor my love for the gift that it is, rather than seeing it as burdensome and annoying. I still have some faith and hope, though I am very, very afraid. I took the ultimate risk; that of my heart. I hope I did not act in error. But I have to be true to myself, and this is the greatest of my truths. So even if it goes badly, and my heart breaks, I do not, cannot, regret telling him.
