I do not worry about you going on dating apps or social media to cheat. But I deeply fear you experiencing life in the real world. I fear one of the girls in your friend circle will say something enlightening that makes you see her differently and my mind will seem simple in comparison. I'm petrified over the idea of a girl in the club touching you to ask you to dance. Her fingers igniting and awakening nerves in your body that you didn't even know existed. And the way I summon a small shiver will never compare. I can only ever be myself and I'm petrified that one day that may not be enough.
