I walked up behind you, and wrapped my arms around your waist, and pulled you against my chest. "I know it's not easy, being open with other people, putting yourself out there, it makes you feel vulnerable... believe me, I know the feeling all too well. But I'm willing to wait as long as it takes, ok?" I brush a lock of your hair out of your face. "Whenever you're ready, I will be too... I'm not going anywhere."
