Drowning

I poured my heart and soul into the poetry I wrote for you, only to have you spit the broken words out of your mouth like venom.

Sometimes I think that my biggest mistake was falling in love with you.
But it wasnt as simple as just 'falling in love'.
It was sneaking glimpses of you in second period.
It was watching you out of the corner of my eye in fifth.
It was watching your every move in sixth, wishing I had the courage to talk to you.
It was being completely baffled when you complimented my hair after the last bell, and dying with disappointment when you nearly ran away.

It was drowning in your brown eyes before I even knew you were swimming in mine.
