Thud!

Thud!

That was me falling for him.
Instantly.
That smile.
Those words.
How could I not?
We were complete opposites,
But you know what they say about that.
The chemistry was good.
The sex? Even better!
But that wasn't all.
Something more started to simmer,
And slowly rise inside me.
Until I felt I might explode if I didn't say anything.
What did I do, you ask?
Absolutely nothing.
I endured the pain, am still enduring it.
Why, you wonder?
I'm a coward.
I'm afraid he won't feel the same.
I'm afraid to scare him away.
I'm afraid to be hurt.
So afraid.
