So you tell yourself
you are in love
without realizing
you don't even know
how to fall;
to be in love, anymore.


But you tell yourself
it doesn't matter
this time-
you're going to make it work.


Because you tell yourself
you need this,
love, that is.


And you tell yourself
it's time to move on
before you even know
what time it is.


And you start to crush,
like a kid,
though you've forgotten how
to crush-
how to be a kid.
