I was never sure what was going through Daniel's head, but something had changed in him, and I was afraid that he had decided our time together had to end.
He was distant, and he shied away from me whenever I tried to touch him physically.
I didn't understand what was wrong with him; he didn't seem to be repulsed by me, and he looked hurt whenever he moved away from me. He wanted to hold me, but he wouldn't let himself.
In the end, I gave up on reaching out to him and went outside to sit by the lake.
I thought it would be nice to enjoy the warm weather, and he didn't stop me, so I assumed that meant I wasn't in any danger; but I regretted my decision when I found myself surrounded by happy families, and I was forced to confront the fact that would never be my life with Daniel.
I don't
