Impulse 53

I didn’t pick you to be
my muse, the same way 
you don’t decide
to fall in love. Love isn’t
“alright, I’m ready to
give everything I got 
for you.” Love is “no
matter how hard I try,
I can’t get your damn
face out of my head,
and I really want to 
see you right now.” 
So, don’t tell me to 
get over it, because 
this isn’t some mountain
you can walk all over.
This is climbing up
falling stairs.
