"you'll grow out of him" my brother's whiskey stained voice whispers words i hear too loud i won't. "he's not good for you" my mother's wide eyes try to convince me he is. "you don't actually believe y'all will actually end up together do you?" my best friend stares straight in a reminiscent daydream, nothing but mistrust and the scars of encountering artificial love in her eyes i do, i tell her. and she shakes her head grieving my heartbreak to come "just promise me you won't love him too much" my grandmother pleads as she runs her fingers through my hair what if i already do?
