Do you feel the same way about me the way I do about you?

Do you feel the same way about me the way I do about you?

"Of course," you said, without looking up

In that moment I realized

That you didn't, cuz if you did

You'd realize the second you looked me in the eye

The hurt that I replaced with a fake smile

Like I'd recognize yours in no time

And that one time brought along with it

Thousands of times into my notice

That my love for you had compelled me to brush off

All the times when I should've countered you with a "fuck off"

One truth and all the blinds fell down

One flicker and all my perfect turned up-side down

One question and all the answers dawned on.



I was reading the poems that i write and it dawned upon me, that most of them are about heartbreak... Strange? no, cuz for someone who's all about love, even heartbreaks are romanticized. 

Love,

A
