We talked today.

I tried to tell him what I really felt,
but I couldn't say it.

He told me that he could wait.

He told me not to worry about
saying those three words back.

He said that he'd wait for
something that was worth it.

I felt relieved.

At least,
I had some time.

But time to do what?

Remind myself of all the reasons
why I shouldn't love him?

Remind myself of all the reasons
why I don't deserve him?

My head was spinning with
questions best left unanswered.

Why couldn't life be as simple as
I wanted it to be?

Love is so overrated.

I'm creating all this unnecessary
trouble in my life.

Who needs love anyway?

Deep down, I knew
the answer.

Me.
