I knew that it wasn't
going to work out
the way that I
wanted,
but I guess I
was so engrossed in
flirting with you
that I lost sight
of what I was
trying to do.
I was trying to
forget about him,
and I tried so hard
to focus on you
instead.
I probably should
have reminded myself
not to get caught up
in the flirting,
and to stop
thinking that
maybe you would
want me too.
I knew that
you would never
want me,
but I can't help
but to feel that I
really want to
cry right now.
