calm before the storm

i wrote this about someone i loved a short time before things ended between us.

it's 2:48 in the morning.
the familiar feeling of empty agony is present.
yet watered down.

i wanna talk to you about how i'm feeling.
but i know you're asleep, and i'd hate to wake you.

i care for you so much.
that scared me.

i think i love you.

i mean i do love you.
it's just easier to hide behind "think",
rather than expressing myself to such vulnerability.

you manage to be my mid-summer day,
drinking lemonade and laughing with an old friend.
the sun blazing.

however, you are my late nights.
past midnight, when i'm alone with my thoughts.
and i can't figure out if i'm happy or sad.

perhaps an equal balance of both.
i feel each so prominently.

but then i remember your eyes.
your laugh.
i remember you.

and how i think i'm falling in love with you.
how i am falling in love with you.
