In Love, Unfortunately

2/9/16

I’m in love and I can’t shake him,
The fight to resist him is becoming dim,
And occasionally, I just hate the existence of men.
I’m in love and I’m scared,
I’m in love and I’m so unprepared.
Unprepared for what will come next,
Still praying to God that he won’t run back to his ex,
And I’m not one who says they know best,
But with being in love you’ll constantly second guess.
I’m in love and I crave him desperately.
I'm in love with my best friend,
And honestly the love I have for him will never descend,
And no matter what I'll always see him in the end,
And though he'll never make amends,
I'm still unfortunately in love with my best friend.
I’m in love and I don’t regret it,
I’m in love, I can admit it,
There’s just still something he doesn’t get.

Great poem. Lesson 1: find out about his parents. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Still a great poem.
