Not just in love


My problem is that when I feel, I feel too much, and too quickly.
And then I want too much, and I want it now.
I have never learned patience when it comes to feelings.
When it comes to emotions.


And so, slowly.
It builds.
One step.
Two.
Then a sprint.
It reaches an explosive high.


But what I fail to realize
Is that life doesn’t work that way.
And people don’t work that way.
And that when I move so quickly.
When I feel so quickly.
When I want right away.


It scares people off
It scares feelings off.
It scares emotions off.


I build things up.
Without foundations
Without walls.
Just a couple of flimsy thoughts.
And they come crashing down.
So easily.


But it hurts just the same.
It hurts so damned much.
