It feels like every other time someone has left me. It's not as if I'm unaware of what I'm doing. It's not as if I don't know that this fight will push you away. I know that. We need to find middle ground. One where you're not too clingy and not too distant. I promised I wouldn't leave, and I won't. But it feels as if you don't want me around. The night you told me that you had developed feelings. I didn't say much because I didn't know what to say. I can't reciprocate those feelings. I just can't.

I can't trust people.
