This series explores the notions of first love, lust or attraction. At its core, it is a struggle of self-discovery and an account of first experiences. The first time for anyone can be daunting and filled with uncertainty. However, the yearning for intimacy and desire for change gives us the confidence to be vulnerable. Yet, it is this vulnerability we put ourselves through that strips us from what we want. The idea of this connection solidifying and turning into something so real becomes a terrifying prospect, so much that we choose to run away.
Please Don't Say You Love Me essentially illustrates that sometimes, our greatest desire and fear, simultaneously, is to love and be loved.
