Maybe

Maybe 
maybe I'm not so broken after all
maybe I just needed someone patient
maybe I needed someone who respected when I say
not yet 
but why does showing affection in public feel like I'm an elephant among ants?
Why do I feel slimy for loving someone?
Why am I embarrassed to show emotion?
Don't get me wrong
the urges to end love still come 
like waves crashing onto small crabs 
they feel very real
but that feeling isn't intuition 
its fear. 
fear has been a thief 
stolen goods like connection, support, and family 
It stops now
Maybe just maybe 
I can start living.
