I Think... Poem by Jennifer English

With a fluttering heart I submit the quotes of thought
Do I really want to do this?
With one click I make my feelings known
With one click I've drowned my chances with him

Sneers and uncertainty cloud my judgements
Friends and family pull me toward them
I can feel my grip on him slipping
I've lost him now, he's gone and he's not coming back

Tears well in my eyes
But I push them back, this is best for both of us
I'm protecting him by putting myself through this pain
No one will ever pass judgement over him around me

I was obsessed with him
I've never been that influenced by anyone
My thoughts of him swim in my head
And my eyes blur as my reservoir overflows

This time I'll let my tears flow
I need to get this out of my system
I've never felt comfortable saying this to anyone
...I think I'm in love with you...
