Dedicated to @bluesiera they're a real supportive fren. Always there to read everything I publish. Check out their work - they really pour their soul and expose vulnerability in them.
There's a reason why I want to run away from you and I know it's childish. I've been hurt. And I struggle to let it go without this kind of reaction to reciprocated romantic feelings. So the moment I started to peel off the mask, started to speak from the side of me that isn't tactical with what he speaks and physical with ulterior motives - and you stayed. That moment was when my muscles tensed. Adrenalin shot through my veins. Blood vessels to my face and stomach constricted - blood vessels to my brain and muscles dilated. The depth and rate of my breathing increased - baby; I was ready: flight mode. Ready to run a marathon. Ready... so so ready - but tell me what it was that you said. I don't remember - but it dismembered my fear. And I was there without a care about the possibility that you could leave me anytime soon and I'll have to endure self-repair of my heart too.
