You always bow out of relationships before they become too serious.
Bored of the stories they retell during every night out that were only funny the first time.
You get bored of the repetition, bored of the expected.

And that boredom blends together with fear.
The fear of staying with this person even though there are a million more out there.
The fear that this person will be the last person you ever call your own.
Sometimes, you hate yourself for it.
You hate that, whenever you are single, you wish you had someone to call your boyfriend.
You have claimed you wanted exactly that since you were young.

Thats why you are never the first to say I love you.
You are never the one to bring up the topic of marriage or children or moving in together.
Those life-changing moments scare you to death.
They seem too final.
Tooadultfor someone your age to consider.
There wont be any doubt in your mind that youll stay together.
Youll know that this relationship isnt only for a few months.
Its a lifetime key in of thing.
