High/Low

I shouldn't be feeling what I do,
And yet.... I feel it.

My thoughts shouldn't be full of him,
And yet.... they are.

He's fast becoming the high that keeps me from feeling low.

But one day, he might become the high that'll drag me so damn low?

I have questions that my mind can't answer.

I also have feelings that my heart can't hide.

I shouldn't.
I can't.
I won't.

The timing is off and this man will destroy me with just a smile.

God, that smile!

It's so rarely seen, that the world seems to just brighten with appreciation when his lips unexpectedly curl into one.

No, I can't go there.
I mustn't.

The high of him, will drag me down.
Lower.
Lower.
Low.

I can't sink to deeper depths of misery.
To the rim of hope, I still hang from.

He, will distract me.
He, might remove that rim that I desperately cling onto.

Forever taking my happiness.
Forever causing me to be lost to  unhappiness.

No, he... isn't right for me.
Yes, we.... aren't right for each other.

A future story has the characters talking to me, and at an ungodly hour last night, lines were screaming to be written down... so, here they are!

I also found a gorgeously fitting song... the above video is: High Low by Don Diablo 👌🏼
