Love Poem: Him

Him

You don’t understand how hard it is doing this dating thing.
Lots of people like to dangle you on a string.
So, it’s easy to believe that any guy is like the rest.
But out of all the ones I’ve talked to you are the best.
Yet it scares me to think you might become someone I regret.
At the same time, you are hard to forget.
You’re my favorite picture that pops up on my computer screen.
You’re my favorite good morning text I miss seeing.
You’re the messages I tried to delete but still look at.
You’re my favorite notification in our group chat.
You’re the one person I want to talk to but at the same time can’t.
I’ve really tried to forget you.
These days you are always on my mind.
Everywhere I keep seeing you.
Sometimes I wish I could just hit rewind.
Undo everything that did or didn’t happen between me and you.
Maybe I didn’t think whole thing thru. 
But I’m really bad when it comes to the right words and I just can’t tell you.
The truth is I really miss you.
