i. you’ll realize you’re in too deep when you find yourself staring a little longer than you used to, or when you realize you’ve been imagining scenarios where you wake up to them in your arms, or when you realize that they’ve done something ordinary but all you can do is smile because it’s just so cute, because they’re just so cute that’s when you realize you’re fucked ii. you’ve fallen hard iii. they didn’t catch you and now you’ve hit the ground without anything to brace yourself again, nothing to soften the blow you’ve got a face full of gravel and blood and when you look up at them, you decide you can’t blame them for not wanting to get their hands dirty iv. you blame the stars for not aligning the way they should have you blame time for not being on your side you blame circumstance you blame situations you blame fate you blame them you blame yourself v. you love them and it’s a goddamn tragedy because you look at them as if they’re the sun and you can’t even see that they’ve lit your whole world on fire vi. there’s no saying whether or not this story will end in tears or smiles, whether you two will be making love or making your ways through life separately all i know is everything will work out the way that it’s meant to and that broken hearts can be mended
