permission

His footsteps crunched on the gravel as he discovered me. Sitting on the hot rail, knees to chest, head on knees, and tears streaming freely. He sat next to me, knees to chest, head on knees, and began to cry, so I asked him why. "Because you gave me permission," his reply. I have loved him every moment, of every day, since.
