feet

i had a boyfriend once who had a foot fetish. he obsessed over feet - my feet - so much that eventually i wasn't allowed to show them to anyone but him. i wasn't allowed to show anything to anyone but him. including my personality. somehow, i hid that from myself. the bubbly girl who even as a 3 year old couldn't sit still in her mother's lap suddenly sat for hours with him and only him. his sweet nothings drained the sweet laughter from me. for three years, i was His Girlfriend. Nothing more, nothing less.
