I talked to a new guy today.
He charmed me with quick lines
and made me dream again.
Made me think about our hands intertwined
and soft good morning kisses.

The butterflies were gone for months after you.
It's as though they longed to explore other stomachs.
They left when we didn't work out and
I lost the best feelings along with your smile.

I always fall in love too quickly and
fall out of it as though I'm a slinky
           in    
                     and
                           out      
                     of
         hearts.
I swear I wanted to stay, but "it's for the best"
at least that's what I told you while I was pretending to not cry.

And yet again,
I've promised another one I would stay.
