Don't Fear The Dark

Melophobia - The Fear Or Hatred Of Music

At first, it was extremely difficult to date him.

Not in the way that I didn't like him, but in the way that he triggered one of my greatest fears constantly.

He sang around the house, in the shower, hummed to every song on the radio.

He didn't know about it and I couldn't tell him.

It would make him see me differently and he would have to hide his voice from me.

It's not like he was bad at singing, he was amazing, but that didn't change the fact that I was petrified of music and singing.

I don't know when it started, but I remember always telling my mom to turn off the radio in the car, or having to bring ear plugs to music class.

However, like I said, at first it was difficult.

I don't know how he did it, but I think he helped me overcome my fear.

See, one morning I woke up and heard him singing in the shower. But instead of covering my ears with the pillow or trying to drown out the noise, I actually sat there with my eyes closed and let the heavenly voice find it's way to my ears.

I didn't think I'd ever get this far, but now I'm listening to his demo tracks and going to the studio with him.

He didn't know he helped me, but he did.

Thank you, Troye Sivan.
