You were perfect

It was never in my nature to be flushed or flustered because of a guy. 

Even when I had that fleeting crush on my secondary school senior, he never really had any real effect on me.

All the guys who had approached me, wanting either sex or a relationship, never elicited such reactions from me. 

The main reason why I never gave guys the time of day was that they would come to me under the pretext of wanting to be my friend.

However, they would later let their true intentions be known and have the sheer audacity and guts to ask me for sex.

Some of them even outright demand it of me.

August was the rare exception.

It pained me sometimes that I loved Tobi with every fiber of my being but not him. 

There was nothing wrong with him at all. I just never saw him as a potential lover or someone who I would dream of kissing.

But Tobi, he had me trapped in his snare, with nowhere to go.
