Which Would You Rather Have:
She Liked You. But You Couldn’t Like Yourself Enough to Believe It.
There she was.
Smiling a little too long. Texting you first. Laughing at your dumb jokes (and come on, they were dumb). She gave you the signs. All of them. The green lights were flashing like a goddamn runway.
But you didn’t take the shot.
Not because you didn’t see it. You saw it. You felt it. And that’s what scared the hell out of you.

I moved to the U.S. legally when I was just a baby. Grew up here. Went to school here. Built a life. My parents eventually became citizens, but I never felt rushed to do the same. They said they were naturalizing for tax reasons. I figured, “I have my green card, I’m good.”

Maybe they’re reading books and journaling and meditating and doing yoga naked under the moonlight to find themselves or whatever.
And now you’re sitting there, torn between your bleeding heart and your rational brain, wondering:
“Should I take them back?”
