We could be broken together

We've been texting for months. And I realized I cared for you just by talking to you. Why? Because we're both socially awkward, introverted, damaged people. We understand each other. I don't think I've ever met someone who understands me in ways others don't. You don't project your insecurities on me and I don't project mine on to you. We can talk about our scars like adults. When we met the other day, it was damn near perfect. We spent hours together, losing all track of time. I wish we had kissed or at least held hands. But we're both awkward, so that despite the lack of physical affection, I had an amazing time. I've got postpartum depression and PTSD from a difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth. I haven't wanted to get physical with anyone...until I met you. I didn't want to kiss anyone or even hold hands. Emotionally I wanted a relationship, but the physical PTSD made me want to avoid physical contact with anyone. But with you, I want so much. I care about you and I want us to be more than we are. I know it's only been a short time, but I want you more than anything. I want to support you through your traumas and your difficult days. I want to celebrate your triumphs and good days.

Pardon the rambling. I just think I could love you someday. Probably sooner than later. But for now, I'll just keep caring about you and always support you
