You

I'm not usually like this
I don't depend on others,
I don't need people to stay
I don't let myself be vulnerable

I have boundaries
because I know people lie and change their minds and leave.
I'm cautious
Careful.
Analytical.
But not this.

With you, I'm completely naked.
You tore down every wall I had put up, and now I have grown attached to the idea of having you around.
And it kills me to know someone could have so much power over me.
