Amy Horton

It isn’t as terrifying as giving my affection and attention to someone who might break me apart.

I knew a good, well-intentioned man would stop the first time I asked. Actually, a good man would never have gone there once I told him I had no intention of even kissing him.

I have to let go, be present, and actively live in the moment. They say love finds you when you least expect it, and I think that’s because you’re so happy and fulfilled in your life that you aren’t worried about it. My goal is to get to that place.

Every day, I wonder if you think of me. I wonder if you miss me. I wonder if you regret your decision.

You are waiting with open arms, but it is nowhere to be found.
