Skinny Love

I walked to therapy alone yesterday because Davis has stopped going. He's better. He's not so angry all the time, and I'd like to think that I contributed largely to his lack of aggression and decrease in apathy — I held his hand and I laughed even when his jokes weren't funny and I always remembered that his favorite day of the week was Thursday because his mom was never home and I held his face when we cried together — but sometimes it's hard to tell whether or not I have an impact on him, or whether or not I ever did.
Sometimes he holds my hand too tightly and sometimes he kisses my cheek so genuinely that I think all the caterpillars in the world immediately turn into butterflies because there isn't enough room in my stomach for all of them. Sometimes he tells me that he's in love with me and sometimes he means it.
But I'm not sure that he meant it today.
