i'm in love with you

um, i think i'm in love with you
wtf
i'm in love with you?
it's impossible but i feel things
that don't go away
obsession? infatuation?
idk
idgi
i've thought about it forever
and after forever i forgot
then i saw you and i thought about it forever
so the cycle goes
for every moment of happiness
there's two weeks of emotional instability
and longing
there's an eternity of not knowing
for every minute of assuredness

and forever lasts a little longer than the time i'm awake
but i stay awake to live my dreams
because they involve you
and the real thing is better than waking up alone
again

anyways

love poems are overplayed
and cliche
and rote
and they've been done every which way
perhaps this is plain language
the absence of hyperbole
the opposite of a love poem
but it's about being in love
because i don't know what to call it
when i think about you for years
or forever
and then meet you on that day after forever
where we lay down entwined, complete
then wake and time-travel

it was the other night when forever
was about to end
that i held you closer than i ever thought
i wish we could trade emotions
like a shirt
so you could see how i fit
and save me explanations
you hate when you feel like this for a person
but it gets better every time
and practice makes perfect
so let's go pro
