first things first, he was probably never mine,
and I was never his, hers or theirs
because I only met him 5 days ago and 5 days means 'too fast'
too fast for his heart or too fast for hers, but our definition of too fast was just right.
it was enough to get attached
it was enough to sing love songs and it was enough to let hearts get jittery
but I still feel like I can't miss you
I'm ineligible
but I know I'm perfectly capable
and I think you'd at least give me that,
because when you sang the line "I've fallen quite hard over you" you sang into my eyes
and you smiled
because in that moment I think you became capable too
and we both became vulnerable.
it was bike rides and random
"I love you to deaths"
because words like that tasted like sugar on our tongues.
the way you talked about God made me feel like home,
and your voice always made my heart weak.
but surely, that was just for that moment because frankly,
no one like you would ever miss me
and unfortunately those 5 days were probably our last.
and that is why I am heartbreakingly ineligible,
I'm not supposed to miss you
but I will anyways,
and I think I'll eventually stop
but for now I'll let my heart break a little more
because those 5 days were worth the pain and vulnerability.
This was lovely and sad, the bittersweet kind.
ReplyDeleteWait. This is cute. And sad. But cute.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this was reading chicken noodle soup. Super delicious but a little sad when you realize you ate all the noodles before everything else.
ReplyDeleteIf that makes any sense at all. Love it.
