how do you do this to me?

the way i have a ridiculously huge smile on my face when i text you

the way my heart practically beats out of my chest before i see you

is it really possible

that i found someone who understands me

someone who has been through the same pain as me

someone who makes me feel this good about myself

you reassure me

you’re too good to be true

i want this feeling to last forever 

our hour long conversations over the phone are not long enough 

i want you next to me 

i wish we could talk like this forever

but doubt begins to sneak its way in

do you really like me?

what are your true motives with me?

are you going to leave me?

i told myself to stop thinking so negatively 

until i realized

the negativity i felt was true

and you left me

just like i thought you would


The author's comments:

This is poem 1 out of 3. These poem represent the three stages of falling in love; Excitement, Ignorance & Insanity, and Acceptance. I was inspired to write these poems by my own personal experiences from love. Some may say that we are at too young of an age to fall in love, but that is simply not true. Love is a million different things. Whether it be love from a relationship, friend, or family member. Whether it be good or bad love. You can experience love at any age. In these three poems I am describing a toxic relationship, but the reader can interrupt them in any way that suits them. The possibilities are endless.
