“Why don’t we leave tonight and take off to a different place?-“

Dear love,
With you, I want to be myself.
With you, I want to take midnight strolls by the beach in my pajamas. I want to slurp down Ice Slushies under the summer sun and laugh at things that aren't even funny. I want to go and sit on one of those Central Park benches, like in the movies, and...
With flustered cheeks and tired eyes, Andrew looked up at the large figure in front of him, looming closer. I sensed a feeling of defeat engulfing him in its darkness.

'So, why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?

A hungry fire crawls up to my solace
Burning the consolation that had once comforted me
