Her

I've made a decision that she will be mine.

I know what I have to offer her and I'm not going to relent until she realizes that I'm good enough to be with her. I've spent too much time sitting back and doing nothing. It's my turn to go all out. You have to go big or go home.

What's the worst that could happen?

Well, she could crush me and my hopes for starters. And then make it extremely difficult to get up in the morning and face another day. The reality is that I feel like that most of the time anyway, without her help.

I'm determined to play things differently this time around. No more being a pushover. No more dancing around the topic. I'm going to sweep her off her feet. Make her realize that there is nothing more in the world I want than to make her laugh, smile, feel safe.

If I fail, then at least I went out swinging. Right?

If this doesn't work out, I know I have Joolie to comfort me when I'm crushed.
