Can We Go Back... Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

How does one go back to the beginning
When I didn’t feel the way I do

How do I stop from feeling
How do I stop from loving you?
How can I stop from missing you
How can I feel and miss so much, if there was nothing

It makes no sense
Or does it....?
All of my feelings are real
They are so real
And it scares me
To feel so much for one person

I want to fight it
But it overwhelms me
It’s suffocating me

I want to walk away
I need to walk away
I am afraid to stay
Too scared to say it out loud
I am afraid to listen to my heart

How does one go back to the beginning
When you were just you
And I was just me...
