There are certain people to whom you’re attracted who are just plain toxic, regardless of whether you’re dating or just hooking up.
There’s an insatiable irresistibility about these people, in the way that they are close enough to you just to be out of reach.
It’s like you are constantly grasping for the threads of hope they dangle in front of you, whether intentional or not, but you somehow still find your fingers slipping into thin air.
You fall flat on your face, and it’s not the first time you’ve done it, nor the last.
You love seeing this person’s name light up on your phone. You would do anything to see him or her genuinely smile. You crave the way he or she looks at you when you’re alone together.
