E

It started in one part of my body.

It wasn't like other times, it was strong.

I tried to run from you, to run from myself.

Yet you lingered in parts of my soul that I chose to ignore.

Parts of my soul I could not bear to expose myself to.

I tried to ignore it, because that's what I do.

I did everything in my power to deny how I felt.

It worked so well, I even convinced myself.

All was well, until I saw you again.

Until you looked at me again.

Being who I am, I expected to feel nothing.

Instead, my heart opted to feel everything.

And I didn't really know what to say

Or how to say it

When you had already said all that you could have said, yet I pushed you away.

The desire to pull you back in was intense, overwhelmingly so.

So I did and now I don't intend to ever let you go.
