I knew

This poem is inspired by two pictures from Tumblr and a situation I am currently going through right now. The first two stanzas are the lines from the two pictures, with a few word changes, and the rest of the poem is my continuation of it. Hope you guys enjoy.

and there's this boy,

the way he laughs, makes me smile

the way he talks, gives me butterflies

and everything about him makes me happy.

But I fear he'll find someone smarter, nicer, cooler,

prettier, skinner, taller,

calmer, clearer, stronger,

and better than me.

I guess that's okay though

I never really had a chance to start with,

right?

just say yes to spare my feelings,

I'm already drowning myself

with the impossibly perfect scenario of us

that will never come to life.

and there's this boy,

the way he laughs, makes me frown

the way he talks, gives me an anxious feeling

and everything about him makes me miserable.

Because deep down, I knew.
