I couldn’t stop myself from fidgeting as I walked out of the room. I had never felt so at war with myself before.

I knew fiercely in my heart that I loved her, I knew that if I had said those words, they would be true but I couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to say them when I didn’t even know who she was.

She was the kind of person cared about someone and yet here she was, embracing me like her life depended on it. Her shoulders were stiff and her arms were a bit cold, but it was contact nonetheless and it was something I needed.
