While I was away, I thought lots about how perfect things are, but when it was time to see him. . . the pressure was too much. . . and what if. . . what if I am just wrong? . . .
Older than him and a girl, I might find myself under more pressure to be right. Too be right sooner.
I need him to spare me if he knows it’s not gonna work. If I’m going to have another big breakup, I need it to stay as small as possible.
And I’m telling him this and feeling like a crazy girl. I just want to make sense. I don’t want to be one of those girls.
He doesn’t pull away, says he understands.
He’s honest.
And we turn momentarily, hesitatingly, embarrassedly to the faintest glimmer of what-if. A problem? A hope?
We stop talking about it. We don’t know, won’t know. And we don’t need to know. Not now. Not tonight.

It's easy to get nervous when things seem to be going so right after so long of having wrong. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way, just breathe, go with the flow and enjoy it because you deserve it. Don't look for the something wrong that isn't there.
