Rejection
I can't; I just couldn't
I won't; I really shouldn't
Too risky; I'd better not
Why chance it? For what?
What if?... Things could...
No way!... Who would?...
Deathly afraid of rejection
He'd ignored her hints of affection

"I was waiting for you to call," she'd said
~ On the note next to the bullet in her head
