I met you at a time I least needed any affection. I am timid. I am so self-centered I push everything away just to protect myself from any unwanted tremors on my sanity. I never knew the barrier I once built strong would tumble down in just a snap.

We had a conversation – something no one would remember. But those exchange of words is something I would never forget. I never knew I could make someone happy. And I never knew the feeling of inner joy knowing that someone genuinely appreciates me as to who I am.

I have fallen. Now I need to push you away. I knew this is coming and I never wanted you to know.

I would regret this in the future but for now take a risk and hold my hand the moment I push you away. That’s all it takes to make me stay.
