I keep finding interesting words I’ve saved or that are on the dictionary. So I keep having to use them!
Abience
Some people pull away from hard things
Or avoid too much noise
Or too much light
But I turn away from you
I hide from you
Keep myself from being too close
I withdraw from what I feel
Because how could you feel the same
So I move away from you
I stay just me and watch you
I’m struck by your opening: ‘Some people pull away from hard things’ – followed by ‘but I pull away from you.’ In fact – isn’t a relationship the hardest thing? So many of us pull away from them. I’d love to see you move INTO this sensation rather than seeming to put yourself at odds with it. Very compelling thesis. Thank you.
Thank you Sarah! I still am working out when I’m just attracted or actually emotionally invested in someone (the cons of not dating).
