Falling Out of Like With You

August 27, 2023

I’ve been thinking about you (August 2023)

On slow weekends like today,

I think about the distance we would have covered if there was initiative

I think about the inside jokes we would have shared if there were conversations

I think about the places we would have visited if there were gate-aways

I think about the things we would have experienced if there was intention.

But today,

I think I just want to stop trying to figure out if you like me

I think I just want to stop wondering if I am being too much

I think I just want to stop being anxious about this connection

I think I just want to stop all this...whatever this is

So from today onwards,

I think I will starve these feelings

I think I will extinguish this light

I think I will venture into other spaces

I think I will strive to fall out-of-like-with you.
