Avoiding the “What If”
“What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh, only in my mind?” — Guilty as Sin? by Taylor Swift
Should you be leaving this thing behind?
Where a slight affection slowly grains into your heart.
Forming a sand castle that can collapse in a blink of an eye.
Should you stop contemplating the way they act?
A mixed signal, along with the confusion that came along with the expectation?
It is a fragile fantasy, that shatters in a slight touch and pierces your heart.
This damned, buoyant thought.
A glimpse of a dream, of what could or couldn’t.
Should you retain some sense of protection after everything you’ve been through?
It is not your fault, my dear.
Longing for a love that you yearn for.
But if I have to remind you, once more.
With that much of a thought that you hold into,
with your heart outpouring the never-ending affection,
Should you spare some of it for yourself?
You, a loving soul.
A hopeless romantic fool.
You can love them so much, but why not yourself?
