Do you ever have one of those bizarre moments where someone says or does something overwhelmingly sweet and you suddenly feel panicked that this is the last time you’ll ever see or speak to that person?

Part of me thinks that it’s a sign of caring deeply for someone, of finally having the capacity for emotion necessary to care deeply for someone.

Part of me thinks it’s probably just hormonal or something to do with anxiety or depression or a throw-back to an eating-disordered craving for control and order or a fear of being punished by some divine being that I don’t even believe in.

Maybe it’s the recognition of how lovely life can be made by small honest statements that people make by accident.
