forever : #thelightyears

this is where we start

forever

it may have been the first date

the first real conversation

the first time that we moved past our

representatives

the first time we just

were

falling

getting to know more than just the calculated hellos

we were past

shy moments of not wanting to say the wrong thing

we were honest

open

truthful

without fear of failure

i told her that i had failed

far too many times to remember

i told her that i was prone to make mistakes

i told her about my flaws

and that my sobriety

looks different because my addiction looks different

but my journey looks the same

i told her

the truth

this is how we start

forever
