“he is someone I would want to be with, but… I don’t know,” I say.
.
“you know you can’t keep doing this. you can’t keep running away from love. why is it that even the idea of being with someone scares you?”
.
“I don’t think you will get it.”
.
“We can try.”
.
“Okay... so love and dating? it’s a brilliant concept. I love it when it happens in books and movies. and I like the idea of love, too, but it’s hard…”
“go on.”
.
“it’s hard because of a lot of things. it’s hard because people have a habit of leaving. they have a habit of leaving and never looking back.”
.
“right.”
.
“and I have a habit of holding on to things. to people. as tightly as I can. the idea of falling in love is beautiful until you realize that the ‘fall’ will hurt. and I’m not ready for that. it hurts too much.”
.
“Does that mean you’ll never let anyone come into your life?”
.
“I don’t know, but I really hope there comes a day when I do.” I smile.
