You want to tell her it will be okay

You want to tell her that the long white hands of the past cannot stop her - cannot trip her up - cannot, cannot - 

You want to tell her time is too short

You want to tell her you understand completely 

You want to tell her to get a dog, already 

Reach out with her own two hands for what she wants, already 

Try, be a little reckless

Say no stronger, and louder, to men she doesn't need in her life

Step wholeheartedly. 

Go wild.
