brown-eyed boy has given up on me.
i am not enough for a future professor, a future professor
myself. my heart bleeds out over him, but he couldn't give less of a
****, the ****.

but i'm through with it.
i'm learning how to love myself through lack of love from another,
because he could never:
sing like i can.
act like i can.
love like i can.
be like i can.

i am in love with a future professor.
