i thought you were different. i fell in love with you, or the notion of you. i fabricated this version of you for myself and obsessed over it until someone else came along. and then i fell in love with the notion of them. but you remain unrequited, my feelings unknown and unreciprocated. you all do. maybe you're nothing like the ideas i have of you, because that is all they are. ideas. maybe i was right. but i don't know. because i never told you. i would've, but it was too late, for i had found someone new to pour all my thoughts into. and that is how i continue. unspoken love after unspoken love, i continue.
