just a few months ago,
i felt like i was on top of the world.
i thought that he was interested,
i thought i was something special.
but then came reality,
crashing down upon my shoulders,
as i read that texted response.
you apparently had the notion of
tALkiNg tO mE iN pERsOn,
but like me,
you didn't have the guts to do it.
instead,
i decided to ask you for your answer.
so i texted you,
and you replied,
with that awful, awful text.
that's exactly when
i nearly lost it.
i felt like crawling into a hole that day,
and never coming out.
i originally was going to keep it to myself,
and never let on to anyone what i was feeling,
but my biggest mistake
was letting my feelings get out of hand.
i never should've trusted them,
i should've held my ground and stood up to them,
but i was cowardly,
and bended beneath their weight.
