The Text That Ruined It All Poem by Madison Boyer

that day you sent the text,
reading it made me a wreck.
With butterflies in my stomach,
I responded with 'cool'.
Regretting my poor word choice
and forever hating my awkwardness,
there will never be a day I wish i responded
by saying 'I like you too'.

Now months have passed,
and crushed have faded,
but I still lust
over what was once an idea.
With this poem I hope you realize,
I still like you.
And every new person you fall for
hurts more each time.
