'I just want to make sure
we are both on
the same page
about not getting
into a relationship.'
Please,
don't tell me
these words that
make me ache so
much.
'It just isn't
something I'm
open to trying.
I'm a tad clingy
so I'm looking
here only.'
I thought maybe
if you came back
into town that
you'd see me and
want to try something new,
but I think
I was hoping too hard
and the star clutched
tightly in my hands
crumbled into dust.
