Being tempted.
Being coaxed out of your skin and then shrinking back in because the only way out would strip away everything you hold dear.
These are the things you feel at the moment of doubt.
Where you laugh at your silliness and then cry in the toilet moments later.
But it's good to feel it. A good kind of hurt. Makes you feel alive.
Strange to be labelled strong, and then be willing to lay it all at the feet of the person you love. To risk the crushing of hope. What was that quote?
"Be careful, for you tread on my dreams."
