 I​ ​have​ ​a​ ​sinking​ ​feeling 

It's​ ​like​ ​my​ ​heart​ ​is​ ​getting​ ​heavy 

The​ ​things​ ​you're​ ​telling​ ​me; 

They're​ ​too​ ​goddamn​ ​heavy 

I​ ​want​ ​you​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​but​ ​i​ ​can't​ ​seem​ ​to​ ​stop 

My​ ​curiosity,​ ​my​ ​jealousy,​ ​my 

I​ ​don't​ ​even​ ​know​ ​what​ ​you​ ​call​ ​it,​ ​but​ ​i'm​ ​all​ ​focused​ ​now 

I​ ​can't​ ​stop​ ​listening​ ​to​ ​what​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​say​ ​about​ ​him 

About​ ​you.​

 ​I​ ​can't​ ​drag​ ​my​ ​attention​ ​away 

It's​ ​almost​ ​like​ ​this​ ​instant​ ​need-to-know-right-now​ ​thing 

And​ ​even​ ​though​ ​it​ ​doesn't​ ​seem​ ​much​ ​to​ ​you;​ ​you're​ ​in​ ​no​ ​hurry

You​ ​can​ ​tell​ ​me​ ​tomorrow​ ​or​ ​the​ ​day​ ​after

But​ ​it​ ​feels​ ​like​ ​this​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​said​ ​now 

We​ ​need​ ​​ ​to​ ​be​ ​sure​ ​of​ ​​ ​what​ ​you're​ ​saying​ ​and​ ​clear 

The​ ​way​ ​you​ ​feel​ ​about​ ​him,​ ​about​ ​you​ ​both 

At​ ​this​ ​very​ ​moment. 

And​ ​although​ ​my​ ​eyes​ ​are​ ​getting​ ​all​ ​blurry 

And​ ​my​ ​heart​ ​is​ ​getting​ ​heavy 

You​ ​can​ ​tell​ ​me,​ ​i​ ​can​ ​still​ ​listen 

I​ ​can​ ​be​ ​the​ ​best​ ​friend​ ​that​ ​helps​ ​put​ ​your​ ​feelings​ ​in​ ​place 

When​ ​you're​ ​all​ ​confused​ ​and​ ​mixed​ ​emotions.

And​ ​although​ ​it​ ​hurts​ ​​ ​to​ ​think 

You​ ​like​ ​him​ ​now, 

I​ ​guess​ ​i​ ​understand 

Anyone​ ​can​ ​fall​ ​for​ ​him,​ ​he's​ ​just​ ​simply​ ​like​ ​that 

Though​ ​i​ ​have​ ​to​ ​say,​ ​i​ ​did​ ​find​ ​it​ ​heartbreaking 

You don't see in him what i did

But it still hurts

That​ ​it​ ​was​ ​you; 

The​ ​one​ ​i'd​ ​tell​ ​my​ ​stories​ ​about​ ​him​ ​too, 

The​ ​one​ ​who​ ​helped​ ​me​ ​stay​ ​strong 

When​ ​the​ ​world​ ​brought​ ​​ ​me​ ​down, 

The​ ​one​ ​who​ ​said​ ​he​ ​looked​ ​sad​ ​when​ ​we 

Moved​ ​away​ ​from​ ​each​ ​other, 

The​ ​one​ ​who​ ​told​ ​me​ ​she​ ​was​ ​crushing​ ​on​ ​the​ ​boy 

I​ ​was​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with; 

But​ ​before​ ​i​ ​get​ ​carried​ ​away 

This​ ​isn't​ ​about​ ​me,​ ​it's​ ​about​ ​him,

​you​ ​and​ ​him. 


So​ ​how​ ​are​ ​things​ ​going? 

I​ ​think​ ​it's​ ​been​ ​about​ ​two​ ​weeks 

Since​ ​i​ ​started​ ​this​ ​poem,​ ​i​ ​had​ ​it​ ​put​ ​away 

Behind​ ​my​ ​books​ ​and​ ​papers 

I​ ​was​ ​probably​ ​never​ ​going​ ​to​ ​get​ ​back​ ​to​ ​this​ ​again 

It​ ​doesn't​ ​make​ ​me​ ​feel​ ​good 

But​ ​here​ ​i​ ​am,​ ​back at this i'm​ ​writing​ ​and​ ​i'm​ ​okay. 

Does​ ​he​ ​look​ ​at​ ​you​ ​like​ ​you're​ ​everything, 

He's​ ​ever​ ​prayed​ ​for? 

When​ ​you​ ​turn​ ​and​ ​look​ ​back​ ​at​ ​him, 

Do​ ​you​ ​see​ ​your​ ​whole​ ​world? 

I​ ​miss​ ​seeing​ ​that​ ​from​ ​him 

It's​ ​the​ ​best​ ​feeling​ ​isn't​ ​it? T

he​ ​one​ ​where​ ​you​ ​see​ ​him​ ​looking​ ​right​ ​into​ ​your​ ​eyes 

As​ ​though​ ​he​ ​couldn't​ ​tear​ ​his​ ​eyes​ ​off​ ​of​ ​you 

It​ ​makes​ ​so​ ​much​ ​happen​ ​to​ ​you: 

frantic​ ​heartbeat,​ ​blank​ ​mind,​ ​butterflies,​ ​difficulty​ ​breathing 

But​ ​i'm​ ​not​ ​complaining​ ​it's​ ​a​ ​pretty​ ​amazing​ ​feeling 

Like​ ​you​ ​both​ ​belong​ ​to​ ​each​ ​other... 


Has​ ​he​ ​moved​ ​on?​ ​

Isn't​ ​he​ ​in​ ​love​ ​anymore? I'm​ ​going​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​writing​ ​now
