To leave your flock. Confused
Believing you can navigate the storm. Vast

I'd say I've missed you, but that's a lie.
But that doesn't matter, cause you'll always be with me.
I haven't thought about you in a while now.
Dear my 7 year old self,
I’m sorry that no one came to your rescue when you needed it most,
That no one could better prepare you for polite church parties and family gatherings
Dear George...
Today I had to listen to the words.
"I'm sorry but we can't prove it beyond reasonable doubt."
