I told

A poem about how I've recently felt as I found somebody I really liked after my past rls.

I told myself
I don't want anything anymore
and put my heart on the shelf
the heart that used to adore

And I cried for days
realizing maybe it wasn't for me
thinking of many ways I could say
It was never meant to be

But when you appeared, I felt different
like how the smell of rain fills an autumn morning
And it piqued my interest
I felt my heart instantly warming

With every second of every day,
I fell harder and harder
my world, which once felt grey,
grows farther, and farther away.

I told myself
I would never feel like this again
as I looked at my heart on the shelf,
I realized it then
