Should I?

What if I

Should I?

What if I just...

No, I shouldn't

But maybe...I mean what if I really did just

No

It could hurt couldn't it

It already does, at least this time I'll have somebody

You are somebody

I meant somebody else

What if I just threw caution to the wind? Heartbreak be damned

What if I finally just said it

I want someone and I want them to want me

It's nothing to be ashamed of...

It is nothing to be ashamed of

It's the loneliness talking, surely

I know better than to want

I made my choice

Solitude until a preferred point of understanding and healing

I'm consumed with FOMO

A future, a version of me that doesn't exist

That time may never come

What if I just...

'it's a fantasy-will you stop already, fantasy or not, the heart wants what it wants and I want love

'Company'

'you want company and that's okay'

What if I...

Would it be selfish?

It's not like my cup is full

It's not empty either

Still not enough to pour into someone else though

I'm aware

I'm also...human

Caution to the wind I say...

Amanda

Angst? Just an esoteric soul wrapped up in 21st-century BS hoping one day it'll make sense where I fit into all of it; one day I'll see the light at the end of the tunnel. For now... I write because if I spoke, the words might be lost
