It is all so unbelievably cliche. It's all that I was afraid of... ...all that I am afraid of. I remember all of the love songs, the compliments, the stolen looks, the giggles, the gushing, that sounded like nails on a chalk board. Nightmarish. The sort of things that sent chills up and down my spine [and not the good kind]. I remember the days that I wouldn't say "I love you", the days I wouldn't touch or cuddle or play or laugh, the days that your dejected mien made me wonder why you stayed. What a waste. What a waste it was to try to keep my heart away from yours for as long as I did. What a waste the days were when I tried to pull our thoughts away from each other. From where they were and where they wanted to be: intertwined...supine...aligned.
