Have you ever felt someone, more precious to you than the air you breathe, slipping through your fingers? Standing back, you can see them getting further and further away, but you are powerless to stop this backwards motion. A black vortex opens around you and swallows the sounds of your cries, leaving you powerless to call this person back to you. Frantically beckoning, silent to all but yourself, helplessly watching as this person drifts away... Have you ever been paralyzed by your own feelings? Something that should be so natural, so comfortable, is at once wonderful and terrifying. Aware of what is right for you, but ultimately afraid to make that judgment call for fear of settling too soon. Avoiding the obvious because it is obvious, and the obvious has to be ultimately harmful. Doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to withdraw into yourself? Cutting off all human contact to spare yourself the pain of rejection yet again. No touching, no holding, no hugging, no laughing, no crying, nothing. Only solitude. Because everything ends in heartbreak. If it didn't, it wouldn't end...Birth sign: Not entered
