Fluster of Emotions

A Girl In Love

There once was a girl

Who was in love with the idea of being in love

And because of this

Threw herself into any chance of being in a relationship

She met a guy

Strong, admirable, charismatic

Fell into his charms and couldn't get out

She was blinded with something that did not exist

Continuously got hurt and cheated on

Yet she chose to stay and forgive

One day she woke up from her naive little mind

Told herself she couldn't keep hurting herself

Took all of her courage

And left him

There were so many times she wanted to go back

Mistakes taunting her telling her not to

Eventually she got over him

Or so she thought she did

Still fighting the urge to talk to him again

What's holding her back?

Pain that never healed

No idea how it will heal

Will she ever love again?

Or is love just that? An idea, a thought

Perhaps that is all it really is

Then again, that girl met him

And fell in love, for real

Yes, that girl is me

That boy is you.
