We look at each other without saying anything, both of us smiling like idiots. I heart is so full I canโt believe it can possibly still beat without bursting right in front of me. My desire for him is so fierce Iโm afraid to stand, because I know my knees will be too weak to hold me up, but thereโs more than that. This great and bursting thing inside me is love.
Megan HartI do not like that I allowed my past to close me off. I do not like that I let circumstances rob me of the ability to have a normal relationship with a man, to have friends, to be happy. I do not like it, but I had felt myself powerless against it.
Megan HartIf I'd known it was going to be the last time he'd ever hold me, I'd have paid better attention.
Megan HartI had no words to give him. No explanation. I didnโt understand it, myself. It scared me, but then so do roller coasters, and I ride them anyway, too.
Megan HartCan I tell you honestly that I'd rather be in your life as your friend than nothing at all?
Megan HartKnowing what you need doesn't always mean you know how to get it, though. I'd spent a long time hiding in my cave. No matter how much I might want to come out into the light, I knew it would hurt my eyes. I was a fool. A fool, but nevertheless too smart not to know I was the architect of my own demise, that it was time to put my past behind me. It was time to stop allowing the white elephants to stand unspoken of in my living room.
Megan HartThere are few times when we know with absolute certainty we are going to do something for the last time. Life has a way of moving in circles, bringing us back to places we didnโt expect and taking us away from those we do. There are too many times we donโt pay close enough attention, and moments are lost in our assumption weโll have another chance.
