Power to Break
I did something you should never do.
I gave a guy power over me.
It wasn't deliberate. I didn't even notice what had been done until after it had all been done. But it was too late. It started as my attempt at flirting. It seemed to work, he was talking to me, making me laugh, laughing at things I said. I felt great. But I accidently said too much.
And now there's stuff he knows. Stuff that no one else in my life knows. Private things. Things he shouldn't know about me.
I told him I liked him. He said he 'kinda' liked me too. But i don't know if any of it is true. I feel like I have no will. I told him all about me as if it were an open storybook.
He said he won't tell anyone my secrets. But I don't know if I can trust him. I want to.
But now I know to be selective in what I say. To anyone.
I know how love gives someone the power to break you.
