And before I walk away I'd love to have the courage and the
power to push him out of character, even if it's just for a
few seconds.
Cause I've come to realise that that's the real power
of introverts: they aren't as needy as others. Some
attention and a bit of small talk won't lift them up. They
chose their company based on what they really are and have to
offer. They have the capacity of tolerating you in their life
without getting attached in any way. And I wonder if he realises
it doesn't work that way for people who're addicted to
human interaction. I wonder if he realises that by holding me in
his arms while listening closely to whatever it is I'm
talking about, he automatically makes me fall in love with him
-even if it's just a little, even though I know he isn't
what I'm looking for at all.
And it might just break my heart -just a little bit- to
know I never had the slightest impact on him. But that's
maybe the price you have to pay if you try to get close to an
introvert if you never even planned on staying. Maybe he figured
me out the moment he heard me talking and he just knew he could
play me all along.
