sometimes, you love someone, from afar. you don't go near. you stop yourself, each time. you don't because it's scary. being rejected is awful; and so, you don't try, at all. you have the 'almost' chances --seeing them in hallways, riding the same train everyday. the same social circle, the same classes, the same village--so near and yet, so fearfully far. then, one chance encounter. fate helps you, smiles at you. you, finally, get to talk to them. but, you run away; coward that you are. pretending not to want a connection, trying to stay away. #afar #pretension #coward #shy #yqbaba
