butterflies 🦋

just in time

1095 days
i spent hooked on you
chasing mixed signals
and one-sided feelings
that would never be reciprocated
holding onto that hope
that you would change your mind
and see me the way i saw you
and feel the way i felt
and chase me down the hallway
and grab my hand
and kiss me so hard fireworks sparked
like something out of a movie
but we're not in a movie
this is real life
and real life is nothing
but the cold hard truth:
you will never love me the way i loved you
distancing myself
seemed like the only option
and i forced myself to like other people
forcing my hand
but it was hard
and eventually the butterflies disappeared
flew away one by one
just in time
