loving someone
who is incapable of love
is self destructive.

thank you
for teaching me
not to follow my heart.

that is the best thing
you could've told me.

somehow you knew
that i tend to go with
what my heart is telling me.

but what i've come to realize is
that hearts are reckless.

hearts can't think about the future,
they want what they want now.

hearts don't know what'll happen in the end,
but they sure feel it when they are breaking.

i think
after every breaking,
while they heal,
they get harder.

they callous as a reminder
to never make the same mistake
and end up with regrets
again.

this is why we shouldn't follow our hearts,
no matter how appealing it may seem.
we must think smart to not get hurt.

so thank you
for teaching me
not to follow my heart.

what do you do
if you're in love with someone
who is all wrong for you?

i fall in love with people
in moments of innocence

last night
after dinner with my parents
in the car ride back home
i realized i love you

you were playing with my hair
because you knew my head hurt
simple things like this
mean a lot to me

then i started running my fingers through your hair
and i just looked at you
while doing that
and i thought to myself
"i love you"

it was something so innocent
like this
that made me want to take care of you

then on your own
you sat up and said it was my turn again

you could've been selfish
but instead you wanted to make me happy

you're my best friend
and i've fallen in love with you

it has taken 8 months for me to fall in love with you
but it will take a lifetime to admit it.
