Let me show you what I am also (2011) by Del Kathryn Barton. (Source: ocula.com) |
JL,
Did you get my letter, sweetie? My thoughts of you, the way the very concept of you affects my emotions — it’s all there in my own cursive for you. Posting it gave me the slimmest fragment of hope that I might see you again. It also gave me a frightening sense of vulnerability. The deepest, widest kind of vulnerability. It is a terrifying thing, to surrender your own dignity.
In spite of that, I don’t regret writing those words to you, for you. Some people would call it Making A Full Disclosure.
I just wanted you to see inside me.
