the illusion of them

It’s always better in your head; the reality won’t live up to the fantasy, So, just go to bed. Quit longing for the stolen glances or the racing heartbeat. They won’t suddenly confess, they’ve had a few chances. Think of 29 reasons to not kiss, some you’ll truly believe. Let me say it again, nothing special about this. Don’t recklessly dive into that ocean, Isn’t it better to first go fishing? Remember, they’re an itch, and you’re calamine lotion. Two people aren’t playing this game, It’s just you. The train isn’t coming. Surprise surprise, isn’t that a shame? Wondering if they think of you isn’t a crime, If just words can set your cheeks on fire, Trust me and let go of that desire. After all, I am someone who falls for it every time.
