she had grown used to the lies. she taught herself never to grow attached to another.
in her mind, everything that falls must hit the ground at some point.
falling in love is no different. she falls for someone and eventually she is left on the ground, broken.
instead of learning to pick herself up, she learned to avoid the fall completely. after the lies and the heartbreak she taught herself never to catch feelings.
she stayed loyal to her own twisted rules until she met a boy.
a boy that changed her burning fire to a soft stream.
