i would like to fall in love someday
to feel that warm embrace when i enter the door
to call someone my home, my sanctuary
i would like to fall in love someday
and cherish memories lasting in my heart
growing old and holding hands in the grave

but i've slowed down to remember my youth
how much i have to do, so little that i achieved
neglecting to nurse myself back to health for years
i have finally grown used to the quietness
i have finally grown used to sleeping alone
i can't bring myself to fall in love today
i can't bring myself to even have a crush
but i'm okay with waiting for now
escapril day 5 prompt: crush
