Uncertainty and vulnerability. The pain of not knowing where you stand with someone.
Insertion

Ahhh, how I hate insertion.

Why? Because insertion is a way of hurting,

Especially with a person,

Not knowing what I mean to them emotionally.

The insertion it invites.

The confusion.

These are things I have to feel with this insertion.

Maybe some pain,

Since, well, you never know how the other person feels about it.

There's the question: have they used me?

Was it all a lie?

Why did you say you loved me?

These are questions that overthinking brings.

Not knowing what I have with that person.

It must be my fault for never asking.

But you know what? Maybe it's both our faults.

Her for not asking and making sure what we are.

Him for never taking the first step and declaring what they have.

Saying I love you brings so many emotions.

But you know what? Anyone can say "I love you" too.

And as I've said on occasion,

Words are carried away by the wind.

And all this happens for two reasons:

Not asking.

And if I have to ask, it can also be a fault if I'm not honest.

Because one can ask, but how do we know that what they say is not something we want to hear?

Not all people are like that.

But there are those people who, through their actions,

Give this insight.
