1 hour 18 minutes and 5 seconds of honesty

Honesty, respect, and no more second guessing. With the knowledge of how agonizing it is for both of us, we talked. The details are not important. The point is, we care enough about each other to kill it once and for all before it hurts any more. But I did fight for it. For once in my life I tried to fight for what I wanted, even knowing defeat is eminent. I think a whole new dimension of our relationship was drawn out from it. It's not what I originally wanted, but this turns out to be so much better. So this is what it is like to be completely honest with someone about how I feel. For the first time in a very long time, I feel at peace. I slept well last night.
