i'm truly sorry.

i don't know who i am around you, and i wish i wasn't responsible for her, didn't have to account for her cowardice. i wish i wasn't scared for myself deep underneath my skin, wish i was enough of a woman to walk away from good enough in the first place, wish i was enough of a woman to protect all of us instead of always just me.

this is one mistake i can't seem to leave behind, can't bear to stop making. i wish i was different, wish you were different, wish we were back in the mountains again and could start over, me with twenty-three years under my belt instead of just twenty-two. i wish i was sure that would make a difference.
