“I don’t want to hurt anyone,” I say as I proceed to rinse my hands clean of love.

The contrast between words and actions is strong, causes pangs in both parties’ hearts.

That’s not to say either of us have a heart… that leaves a lot to be desired.

We’ve been living in shyness
Staring each other down like the other will run.

But despite the want to cut the invisible string before it stings… I can’t.

You never caught my eye and we never kissed that night but even so, I felt an overstretching glow

That came in August, the bloodlust, the unexpected hook up

And you never know, it might not be love. Hopefully not love.
Hopefully the invisible string is enough.

Cause I don’t wanna hurt you
No, I don’t wanna hurt you.
