when i was younger
i thought that when you
“fell in love,”

with someone

something in you shifted.

and you could feel it,

an instant change inside of you.

i always figured
that was a silly thing to think

but then your eyes met mine.

and from across the room,

while everything else felt unimportant.

my heart jolted,

and i knew,

that i loved you.

How is possible to miss someone you never knew
Is knowing defined by how long they've been there or how much you've grown partial to
I fall in love with someone everywhere i go
Its the mental image of me being happy with someone i don't even know
Or just found out existed
The cycles of the seasons rewind to a brighter idea throughout my twisted reasons
I feel sickened to think about strangers this way
Solely off appearance they're able to give my hope a place for its head to lay
Its the feeling of making eye contact with someone extremely alluring when they walk by
When your heart sinks to the deepest depths where all your fears and flaws hide
To know you'd never have a chance to have them in your life
Cowardice has a death grip
