Let Me Re-Introduce Myself

Let me re-introduce myself to you.

 

My name is Being Terrified of Love.

I shiver when I cry and I breathe too loudly when I sleep.

But you already know that.

 

My skin is cold most of the time.

I have an uncanny ability to disappear into any blanket near me.

But you already know that too.

 

Sometimes my eyes don't know how to focus on you.

My lips turn white when I get angry.

And who am I kidding, you've known that too

 

Let me re-introduce myself to you.

 

My name is An Old Lover Who Still Loves You.

I hardly ever cry anymore and my hands hold my anxiety.

But

 

you already know that.
