How do i deal with more than i have imagined?
There is a challenge here i had never expected.
How can i handle someone who exceeds my dreams?
...
I can offer shelter and tenderness and welcoming love. Will that be enough for you on your journey of self discovery?
I can love you without condition and value you as you are. Will you despise me for valuing that which you devalue - you?
I can only offer myself, and in a lot of ways that is a dubious gift indeed. It's been turned down and tossed aside... more than once.
I've tried to polish myself up a little, add a veneer of a certain bold and disarming charm.
You say the veneer throws you off, but i am loathe to show the drab and broken woman hiding in the shadows.
Reality is over-rated. Real life is burdens and sorrows and scars.
...
And then there is you. You are on a journey of self discovery.
What will happen when you discover your true worth and then look at me? Seems like it won't be fun.
I don't want to create a self-fulfilling prophecy tho, that would be stupid.
You are so extraordinary, and i am just me - ordinary, sinner, foolish woman ekeing out a life, pathetic and lonely.
This is a wait and see situation, i guess. I'll give you what i have to give. You can do with it what you will. And i will treasure that which you may offer in return. And maybe together we can make our own luck.
