driving empty roads and smoking empty cigarettes,
in the car i felt like i needed to define what a relationship is for me. just to like, know. but it's not something i can define and smash into a little box and stuff under my bed. its just there. floating magically above everyone's head.
i've been really good at avoiding things and pushing people away in the last nineteen years, to pull someone towards me is new and terrifying. like i am fully incapable of acting normal. i tend to shut down.
and then i turn into a liar.
