Keep Trying

Love.

The hard answer for me to take. It's funny, really, since love and trust I take for granted, and yet, I am also unwilling to deal with. I am afraid of being hurt. And yet, somehow, I am sure this is because I was taught that if I'm not careful, I will get hurt too easily.

Perhaps this protection magnifies whatever I receive and throws it out of perspective. Perhaps I'm already like that to a minor extent, and this makes it worse.

He wants love and affection, but doesn't understand what interaction means. It is the opposite for me. Which is ridiculous, given that our personalities suggest the opposite.
