I can't look you in the eye. I just can't. I'm such a coward. Every time I try, my gaze just falls away, searches for anything but you. It's too much, letting you see what's really in thereβthe mess, the fear, the raw shame.
God, I miss you so much it hurts, but the shame of what I did just paralyzes me. I wronged you, and this... this has to be my punishment.
