I’m not sure, I’d call it, “stayed strong.”
It’s more like, “how I manage to keep breathing.”
I really don’t know. Cos it’s not like I am there now. I’m still reaching. Still breathing.
I understand your words and whence they come. Hmmm! It’s sad to think you lost your opportunity at love. I can say that about myself too.
Which goes to show age has nothing to do with it.
And if that’s what you really desire, I pray you find it. And don’t allow time and age discourage you. Besides, I’ve seen your photo. You’re damn gorgeous.
