Falling in Love Feels Like

After you fall in love you realize;

"I love you," he grins

"I love you," his eyes sparkle with

euphoria and delight

"I love you," he smiles

"I love you," he writes

No response comes to him in return

Not that he asked for one

though wouldn't it be a thrill

to have something so meaningful to be

told something so remarkable?

"I love you," he managed to say

within seconds of the call ending

"I love you," he mentions

"I love you," he mutters

He still maintains to beam at her

slowly noticing she doesn't in return

the anguish and agony of not being worthy

doesn't come across his naive mind

Why would she make my heartbreak?

Eventually time went on

she started to drift away

farther and farther from his voice,

his isolation

it gets drowned out by the significance of a

meaningless life

He realizes.

Nobody will be watching him while does this,

nobody that he thinks would care most doubtfully her

"I love you," he whispers

A soulless creature

just wanting to feel happiness

yet that happiness was all a disguise,

a filter

hiding a nightmare from the boy who didn't want to be frightened

"I love you too".

She sobs quietly

realizing he isn't there to love.
