I know you've been noticed this for a while and probably a little bit annoyed by it and maybe slightly questioned it. Okay, I'll tell you why sometimes I didn't look you in the eyes while we were talking:

1. I'm afraid you'll see how much I love you.
2. I'm afraid you'll see how much pain you've hurted me.
3. I'm afraid you can't handle all of the above.
