Oh, So Logical

Your optimistic self cheerfully insisted ‘forever,’
My pessimistic self differed with ‘never,’
Although I secretly wanted us to be ‘forever’...

I wanted you to prove me wrong,
I wanted you to sing that Beatles song
Because you had just seen my face
And you knew that I was the girl for you,
But in reality,
You never remembered the time, just the place.

I wasn’t worth it, right?
Maybe I was stupid.
But I could’ve sworn I had seen Cupid
Lurking in the darkest corner of my room,
He stood.
And then there was light
As he shot his arrow,
I didn’t put up much of a fight.

I laid in my bed,
With the arrow in my heart
My heels were over my head,
As I began to think about my love
And how nice it would be,
To have you cuddling in bed with me.

But never would you lay here
Never would you actually come to see me
Never would I get a chance,
To hear your heart pound as my head lays against your broad chest.

You had spoken too soon.

Your optimistic self had stated ‘forever,’
But your logical mind swooped in and contradicted with ‘never’
Meanwhile my helplessly-in­-love self begged for ‘forever’
Or at least a short time...

But your logical self won.

Although you had initially said ‘forever’
Too soon it became ‘never.’
Never will we be more than friends,
Never will we be just friends,
Never will we make amends
Never will I forget,
You.
