Growth

I'm brave enough to admit I love you and smart enough to know it's not the only factor that matters. I'm humble enough to realize I'm not over you and honest enough to recognize I need to do better. I'm courageous enough to forgive you and wise enough to understand I cannot reopen that door. I'm human enough to desire you and woman enough to say no more...

...Growth is feeling the same feelings AND making different, better choices.
