It started as a 72 hour crush. But it was so intense. I still remember the first night you told me...
.............."I must say, you are most enchanting and arresting piece of femininity whomever you are"
I wrote it on a peice of sticky.
Oh, like i needed to!
It was carved into my memory
Like a birthday that kept on coming.
You spoke like a word fiend
And my love for words would not let me
Ignore the beauty that in you spoke to me
I simply, fell. Broke a hip. Could not get up. For 72 hours.
I remember when it faded.
I looked around and saw I'd be jaded.
you did not feel what I felt.
And I go scared, thinking I'd be left in love, alone.
I needed to let go, so I wrote
.............................."The love that is fire, will burn out"
I wanted a reminder that this too, shall pass.
Wellll it did.
Unfortunately.
A day or so after that, I realised I was not physically attracted to you.
I didnt like your dumbo ears.
And those pants just didnt do it for me.
What was worse? you were lanky.
You just were not my type.
But ohhhh you spoke like a sexy man. Sent words through my spine down my shin. Called tingles through my tummy. Your words made me drop allelse I ever wanted.
You became sufficient.
Now you're in love with me.
You never say it.
You dont need to say it.
You cry it in your tears.
And i see it in your words.
You are madly, in love.
Just like I was.
This is what I wanted.
If only you'd given me this, then.
Today, you ignored me. I said hello, you looked away.
The side of your face reminded me of nothing I'd ever seen.
It hurts you know, to be shunned like that.
So I asked why you're sulking so
And you said
............"I think I'm becoming obsessed with you."
But where do you get off?
And how the hell dare you?
You came out of nowhere.
Never did admit you wanted me!
Never ONCE did you ask me!
Never EVER have you told me!
I've ran around in circles,
Trying to get you to see this!
I have tugged at your heartstrings
Only because you, had tugged at mind!
When you would not see what I felt
I simply left,
Though it was not easy,
I got with someone else.
It is too late.
But I too, feel.
So when all of a sudden you today, decided to share your thoughts.
I was shocked.
That out of nowhere, the mute had found a voice.
And dare I say, decided to speak volumes
YOU TELL ME this?! OUT OF NOWHERE?!
And there I was, left alone.
Without no one to hold me up.
So i slumped.
And cried.
Its ridiculous.
That you'd hurt me.
Thinking you're the only one with feelings.
