They said I'll know it when I fall in love,
They said it'll be perfect,
They said the beginning is a bliss.
He'll give you butterflies.
I looked for those things in you,
I looked so hard I pushed you away.
God knows how much I love you.
I didn't know when I fell in love,
It felt like the smoothest of chocolates,
All of a sudden I was a little less nervous,
All of a sudden I could see my future.
You, you're my love.
Maybe it's too late to tell you,
You never gave me butterflies,
You gave me peace.
I can't think with you gone.
I can't accept that you're not the one for me.
But I'll be the best version of myself.
That's the girl you fell for.
The girl that wanted better.
I'll love you with every cell in my body.
And I'll hope you never read this.

PoetryWriting has always been my escape from reality, this book is a compilation of random short poems etc. that I've written. Miles per minute, because i overthink, when that happens, my mind races "miles per minute".
