I could already tell this was a bad idea. As soon as I saw you, I knew I was going to feel this way. I kept my feelings at bay since we hadn't yet officially met each other. Honestly, I didn't want to be introduced. Why? I didn't know if I was going to be able to lead a normal life while you were on my mind. I knew that you were going to consume my thoughts, and I didn't want that. I was entirely fine with the idea that I could never have you, and then, you smiled that perfect smile of yours and introduced yourself. I remember thinking to myself, " Wow, he's such a sweetheart." That's when I knew that this was going to be harder for me than I thought it would be.
The days passed and I didn't see you. "Thank goodness", I thought to myself. Then, I learned how wrong I was. I was going to see you way more than I had intended, and I didn't know how to feel about that. I continued going about my business and eventually we started interacting. I liked the way you cared for an answer when you asked how I was. I love the way my name rolls off your tongue, making it's way into my soul. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. We were supposed to avoid each other as if we didn't exist. That was my plan and now it has been demolished. My heart is bare since it has been unarmed. What am I to do? I can't fall in love with you because it won't end well. I guess I'll just ride my own highway to hell.
"And she's just a stupid little girl with her hopes too high and feelings much too strong especially for a boy like him."
