feels

i don’t know what to do with this feeling
that grows on me when i think of you
maybe if i hide it, it’ll stay quiet long enough
and i’ll get to know it better
make friends with it
and persuade it to leave me in peace
but to be completely honest
i’m actually fond of the war
i’m the adventurous type
the one who never sits idle
and is constantly searching
for things such as this feeling
this feeling that grows on me
when i think of you
