Overthinking, Online
unfiltered hope, filtered into self-afflicted pain
I (think) like her …
How … why?
We don’t know each other
Just someone I follow
From a mutual connection
But no connection between us
A few likes and comments
Is that all it takes for me now?
...
Oh! They messaged me!
Not about me, a helpful piece of info for me
Pleasantries shared ... and that was it
So why did I message her again so soon?
I got too excited, thought something was happening
Thought that nothing was something
...
Four days later … no response
...
How’s the overthinking going?
...
Days pass, still overthinking
...
But why? Have I really done this?
Falling for someone so easy?
It’s like I want to be hurt again
But I don’t know
...
There’s a feeling, there’s …
Something
A feeling
A thought
This is not lust
This is not obsession
...
But what is it?
...
Why her?
Why feel this way?
Why so quick?
...
Her name captures my imagination
Her eyes steal my heart
Her personality spreads my smile
...
I cannot explain it, I cannot understand it
...
But I see a future there ...
I do see
A future
With … her
