It’s like a whirlwind- this montage-
This collage of thoughts
Whims and pieces, chunks and slices,
Memories, feelings, hopes.
I can over-analyze them
And think that I remember more
Feel more
Know more
Than my mind and heart actually contain.
Or maybe I’m under-analyzing.
I can answer the questions
Fully and completely
But not all answers are true,
Especially when I’m oddly defensive.
Flashes of late-nights, laughter, and conversation,
And I find myself wondering
If I love you
Or if it is just your friendly company that I am missing.
My pulse forms a riddle
That I try to solve
By dissecting these little shards of past.
To see if I want to give you my heart.
An image of you fills my mind,
And after a skipped beat,
I know you already have it.

i like this piece too, but i felt a little detached from it when you said you already have it. i over analyze too much and i wonder if this happiness im in is what i want to be forever or if theres more to it-like a fairy tale. im stupid for thinking that way but it happens and i seem to search when i should just let it come. thats where i thought you were going with this but i dont know. maybe im worng
