- Everything scares me. Everything. Even positive things like sex and love and intimacy. Actually they scare me the most.
= Why?
- Intimacy is just another word for vulnerability.
= That’s not a bad thing. That’s what makes it great. When a dog lays on its back and shows you its stomach for some belly rubs, the dog is at it’s most vulnerable to attack. It’s showing you that it trusts you. That’s love. That’s great.
- That’s stupidity. Dogs get kicked all the time. Dogs don’t know any better. I’d like to think I’m smarter than a dog.
= I’d like to as well.
- Cute
= I know.
- It’s not my point and you know it. I’ve been kicked. Really fucking hard. Getting on my back and showing anyone my stomach is terrifying. I don’t want to get kicked again.
= So I’m just anyone.
- No. Don’t get smart.
= Smarter than a dog?
- Hold on, the dog was your analogy. It’s not the point. The point I was trying to make is...
= ...Is that everything scares you. I got it.
- How are you so calm? How is this so easy for you? This is your first real relationship. This should be worse for you!
= Hahaha, you think I’m not freaking out? What do you think is more terrifying, your first ever time bungee jumping or your fifth? Sure, on your fifth time it might still be scary and you may have thought about all the things that can go wrong but at least you know you’ll survive. I don’t have that assurance.
- Metaphors.
= They’re fun aren’t they? Anyway, I think these are more like similes.
- I really do love you.
= So chill the fuck out and kiss me.
