A Fine Line

we sabotage what feels good before it can stay

There’s a fine line
Between enjoying someone’s presence
And falling for them.

Yet somehow
They always seem to coexist.

Why do we refuse ourselves
The opportunity to be loved?

Fear.
Pain.
Trauma.

Things of the past
That only ever impact
The present
And the future.
