it's insane
how much
i can love
one person.

it's been years
since i first began
to love you.

i hated myself
when i realized
that i had
formed a crush on you.

i hide it.

these feelings
they grew.

they grew until
my chest pounded
with each touch
and with each glance.

they grew until
it hurt to hear you
talk about someone else.

they grew until
i decided 
that these feelings
should no longer grow.

i tore my heart out
and decided 
to stop loving you.

i fooled around
with those stupid boys
because i wanted
to pretend that they
were you.

i guess
these feelings
never stopped
growing.

but now, i am feeling numb.
