Nibbling

You're like a peach: wonderful and beautiful. But there's a part of you that I don't understand. I am afraid of just chomping down on our relationship because I have done this before; my teeth have brushed this core before. I don't know how to approach it and you always seem to dismiss it. I'll never be able to reach it. And I'll never let anyone touch mine. I am forced to treat our friendship lightly so that we are okay. We can only continue nibbling about the edges.
