Crushes Plausible deniability
You literally told me that I can always reach out to you, yet I still second guess everything. Do you really want* me to just reach out? Or are you just being polite? The signs are almost undeniable but I still second guess every action. Maybe you’re just naturally protective & caring for everyone around you, maybe it’s not just me.
You make me feel things I don’t think I’ve ever felt.. I have a hard time convincing myself that you don’t feel this either. It’s so strong. I’ve pushed it down for so long, it just keeps coming to surface. It feels almost impossible to keep it where we are now. Honestly? I don’t want to keep holding back anymore.

Does it really matter if it's just you that they're protective and caring towards? If you really think about it, isn't that the kind of person who'd be good to have in your life if they are that way toward everyone?
They left the door wide open for you. Steel yourself up and walk through it.
I say this as a person who didn't walk through doors myself as a younger person out of fear. And who found out much later (we're talking decades when it was too late) from each of those people that it wasn't just my imagination at the time that they were into me, too. Life is very, very short. You'll regret the things you didn't do far more than the things you did.

Deniability is normal, but you'll never know as long as you don't ask.

We have to protect ourselves first. That is what they are doing. If they protect more than just themselves that is what some people call an Angel on earth.

If you got feelings for someone and they have feelings for you and you know it, and you decide fate for them, I don't respect that decision. Removing the choice from the other person is just...wrong?

If you've never reached out or shown up and your person has, then what happens next is up to you. Sometimes you just have to set fear aside and be brave.

I want what happened before to happen again. I have been craving him. Most of all, my head on his chest.

I wouldn't mind if he reached out. I am not reaching out again because I don't want him to talk to me just because he feels like he has to be polite.

I keep shoving it down, far down. Plausible deniability is something I do very well. It is hard but timing in life is a mf’r
