Stepping Stones

I take steps.

Tiny steps.

One

           Step 

                       At

                               A

                                      Time.

I don't want to break you

Or this.

I take baby steps

One

           By

                    One.

I'm scared

But that's not going to get us anywhere.

Actually

I'm terrified.

But I keep taking

s

     t

           e

                  p

                         s

Like stepping stones

To us.

    The first thing I ever understood about falling in love

    is that it keeps you coming back

    like magnets

    whether it's good for you or bad for you

    you're addicted.

    And I didn't know the scope of it -

  • New Year

    New year's resolutions.

    I tell myself a lot of things every year -

    I never listen.

    No boys, no distractions.

    Too late.

    This time is different I think -

    I want that senior solo
