Missing the baobab

Maintaining emotional balance is very complicated for some.
Not feeling attachment or (worse) affection is easier.
You live in bubble wrap.
Detached. Distant.
But safe.

Then people like Talis storm into your life.
And you tell yourself "I can try, right?"
To trust? To love?

So, clearly, I won't survive season two.
[Nor this relationship]

When I already know that no.
"Jayce will *not* understand."
He will not hug you, whispering that everything is ok.
And you knew.

It is always like this.
Being vulnerable is always a bad idea.
[I should have learned it at this point]
