“I grabbed the handle and tore open the front door, ready to practically jump out, when I felt its skeletal fingers catch around my throat and fling me back into the hallway, almost effortlessly.”
Let’s keep pretending that we’re not lonely
That you don’t sleep at night
Wishing I still cared
That I don’t dream of you
And the touch of your hand
It’s kind of like she’s Taylor Swift and you’re the no one in the background of all her pictures. People see you, but their focus is all on her.
Have you ever heard of mirroring? It’s when he’ll scratch his head when you scratch your head and lick his lips when you lick your lips. It’s a definite sign that he’s interested.
