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
