you fell in love with
long nights and short kisses,
exchanging glances,
bickering over
who should hang up the
phone
first.
you were head over heels over
someone who didn’t know you
as well as you knew them,
only to find out
you didn’t really know them
at all.
you were lovesick to your stomach
it kept telling you to
stay away from trouble,
that all the right feelings were wrong,
that everything you once believed in
were smothered in
lies, lies, lies.
but you always hung
up the phone
last.
