North/South

He inspires me.

He believes I'm great and I don't want to let him down so I try to be great.

I've always had a thing for people who are openly flawed, probably because I try so hard to mask my own imperfections. He is in such an internal struggle and I'm rooting so hard for him to finish on the side of good. I see such potential in him. It's amazing how he inspires me even while he fights to become the man he wants to be. His environment is against him. His friends are a hinderance. And while he's not yet completely free, I feel like he's no longer entrapped. Funny thing is, I feel his partial freedom began due to his physical confinement.

As always, I find myself placing distance between us simply because the pull frightens me. The last time I saw him it was hard to leave.

It's so easy to not write back, to not call. But how do you disconnect someone from your mind?

Why am I always running from good?
