Can I do this?

Be so... unorthodox?

Yes, yes and yes.  But unusual, even I must admit.  These things that I want in my life.  Is it just as easy as that?  ask?  be perfect?  be accepted?

Such an incredible, amazing thing this is.  Full of trust and love.  Respect, understanding.  How did I get so lucky?  When did I become understood in such an amazing way?  I cannot describe the feeling.  Freedom to be who I am, without question.

People know all about me and love me anyway?
hallelujah.
for reals though.
for real.
