In the Ocean (One Shot)

(former: Two Night Stand)

The problem isn't that I don't let people in
It's that I don't allow myself to get close
I don't give into how I truly feel
Because I don't want it to happen again

Defense.

I know it's a defense mechanism
And it makes me come across heartless

Uninterested.
I've been told to...
When that's a lie

I'm just scared
Isn't that what we do as humans?

We had an experience that hurt us
We learn from it
We prevent it from happening again

Fight or Flight.
I just need to learn to fight again

Let down the wall...
Let myself get close...
