Philophobia [ fil-uh-foh-bee-uh ] [noun]

an irrational or disproportionate fear of falling in love

Chapter 1: Philophobia in the bedroom

Chapter Text

 

I fear that I would not know what love is

If it knocked on the door and asked for a place to stay

 

I fear that, sharing the bed, there will be no place for me to stretch my legs

There will be no time to get used to the temperature

There will be no room for me to turn and toss in nightmare fuelled terror

 

And I fear that, after all this, I still wouldn’t know the name of the stranger beside me, if I woke up the next morning to find

 

That they were gone.
