A Reason to be Irritated.

Here’s a little cause for irritation.

You start talking to somebody and soon begin to feel a strong sense of connection with them. The feeling gathers pace, but other feelings come along with it. Inappropriate feelings, feelings that can never find adequate expression. They start to eat away at you until the only way out is to break off contact. It stings a bit, but you know it’s for the best. So that’s what you do.

And then the acid settles and you realise that you still feel the sense of connection; the warmth is still there. But you can’t go back because you know yourself too well, and that knowledge tells you that the same thing would just happen again. So you have to stay away.

That’s a shame.
