I’m falling, I’m tripping, I’m leaping.

A breath too short every time I look at you.

The whole world spinning slower

for just another moment with you.

My heart stumbles every time

we accidentally touch.

I’m so caught up.

Like fish in a net.

I’ve tried to break through and let go,

but I’m stuck.

I can’t stop thinking about you

and what I don’t know.

A letter never opened.

A flower that will never bloom.

A wave that never crashes.

A book that’s never read.

I don’t know what happened,

its honestly killing me,

but it’s fine.

It’s been years since I’ve felt like this.

All of my friends knew how enamored I was

and how hard it’s been.

You were a first of mine and I was afraid.

I started thinking about

what my life would be like with you.

I was afraid to tell you.

I waited for so long,

until I burst.

And I don’t even think you believed me,

but I really meant it

I don’t know what I was expecting,

but I was hoping for at least an answer,

but all I got was no reply.
