i fall in love too easily
and that’s alright
but my heart can’t
always keep up.
i fall in love sometimes
when i look at someone
and for some reason
i just know.
i fall in love when i
sit behind someone
in math class and they
pass me a pencil.
i fall in love too easily.
i tire myself out.
my friends don’t want to hear
about every stupid crush.
why do i love
when i know it hurts me?
why do i hurt when
no one else knows?
why do i waste away
in ideals and fantasies
that i know have no place
and no hope?
why do i let it get to me
when they don’t look at me
like we’re such close friends
or something?
why do i analyze a smile
or a laugh at a dumb joke
like it’s the defining clue
of a mystery novel?
why why why why why
why why why why why
why why why why why
why why why why why
why do i love
do i love
i love
you
