A Fool for Love

The rain patters on my window, dreadfully in tune with my heart

Pitter patter, drip drop

It’s embarrassing to be like this

Nervous about something like this

Me, a strong woman

Me, and independent woman

Me, a fool for love

Are they going to call again? Do they remember me?

Stupid questions take over my thoughts

Hold my creative process at knifepoint

Think of this guy!

They questions scream

Please, I have to work

I don’t have time to think of them

Of their beautiful, silk hair

Or their flawless skin

Or the way their eyes light up when I say

I love you

Because what if they feel differently,

What if they don’t care?

What if I’m a rebound date,

What if…

They love me back?
