‘She lets me hold her
She lets me know her
And she lets me come apart’
– “Simple Grace,”
The Ruse
I’m not sure I’m so great at this
with Jeff.
Am I there for him no matter what?
Of course.
He can be together
come apart
relax
freak out
whatever.
I'll be there.
I’m not always good at letting him
hold me
be there for me
care for me,
and I guess in a sense, also letting him
know me.
He does – more than anyone.
But he could know me
more,
and (I think)
I could even love him
more
if I let him
be there
care for me
and allow myself to just be
held.
