I've been thinking a lot lately about Rose. She's been on my mind more than I care to admit. There's something about her that draws me in, something that makes me want to be around her all the time. But I can't shake this feeling of uncertainty, this nagging doubt that keeps creeping in.
I've never been good with relationships. Hell, I've never been good with people in general. But there's something about Rose that makes me want to try. She's different, she's...special. And I can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, she could be the one to break through my walls.
But then there's the other side of me, the Red Hood side. The side that tells me to push her away, to keep her at arm's length. The side that reminds me of all the pain and betrayal I've experienced in the past. The side that tells me I'm better off alone.
But I don't want to be alone. I want someone to share my life with, someone to fight alongside me, someone to come home to at the end of the day. And I can't shake this feeling that maybe, just maybe, Rose could be that someone.
So should I? Should I take the risk, should I open myself up to the possibility of love? Should I ask Rose out on a date, or maybe even ask her to be my girlfriend? Or should I listen to that voice in my head that tells me to push her away, that tells me it's better to be alone than to risk getting hurt again?
I don't know. I honestly don't know. But what I do know is that I can't keep living in this state of indecision. So maybe it's time to take a chance, to take a leap of faith, and see where it leads me. Maybe it's time to let go of the past and embrace the future, no matter how uncertain it may be.
So should I? Yeah...maybe I should. Maybe it's time to see where this road with Rose takes me. Maybe it's time to let myself be happy, to let myself love and be loved in return. Maybe it's time to take a chance on something real, something true.
Yeah, maybe I should. Maybe it's time to let Rose in, to let her see the real me, the Jason Todd behind the mask. Maybe it's time to let myself be vulnerable, to let myself feel again. Maybe it's time to take a chance on love.
Yeah...maybe I should.
