Whispers of the Mind

"Did you honestly think that keeping this from me would make me stay?" I replied, my words spilling out in a mix of frustration and sorrow. "Ava, I trusted you completely, and I thought you would do the same. But now, I can't even think freely when you're around, and it suffocates me. You know everything about me, even the things I've never shared. It feels like you can hear my thoughts, and it's unnerving." My voice broke, betraying the hurt I felt. I was exposed, stripped down to my core, and the thought of standing next to my girlfriend in this vulnerable state was unbearable. She was not just my partner; she was my everything—my sister, my best friend, my lover.
