Love Poem: Stupid Me

Stupid Me

I kind of miss you, which is weird for me to say.
After all, I think I broke up with you.
At one point I believed you’d take away my pain.
But ignorance is bliss; and once again I was wrong.
There was stupid me, thinking we’d be a love song.
You need to focus on life, and hey, that’s okay.
But maybe this should be where it ends.
No more saying “we’ll still be friends.”
Not a word between us has passed,
Since the night our feelings left.
But I still think about you often,
Which is honestly a first for me.
I know you’ll find someone better,
Despite what you believe.
And when you go and get her,
I hope she will succeed.
But me? I will miss you, and maybe always love you.
Even if all of this is my fault.
This is all because of stupid me.
And stupid thoughts; and us not meant to be.
So why do I still care?
Why do I still want you?
Am I really as naive as you once said?
Well, maybe these feelings will die when I shut off my mind.
Stupid me will grow smarter in time.
