I’m not dodging the question you delivered with crystal clarity, my hesitation stutters at the profound appreciation for the seriousness of each and every implication you’ve littered along the jagged highway of my life. I should know the answer. A man does not get to be me without having thought this through. Do not discount the power of fear as it relates to love, or the incomplete possibility you may not really exist; at least not in the life that’s meant for me. If one side of a coin represents love, and the other side loneliness, and fate decides to flip for my fortune, I’ll bury the coin in my pocket without looking. Sometimes, the most profound kind of love goes unexamined, like the clarity of questions that go unanswered.
