Losing

It's usually not difficult for me to write or talk to people. My computer, Ms Word, Times New Roman, point size 12 and the words start flowing.

But, everytime I think about what I feel for you I fall short of words. The way you make me feel, when we are on the dance floor, like there's no one else around. Or the way you catch a glimpse of me when no one's looking.

You make me forget the times you didn't hold my hand, the times when you didn't call or the times when you chose not to spend time with me. When you are here in front of me, I lose control.

But that's what scares me. I forget about the nights I have spent hoping you would come back, hoping that you would call or that you would stay. I forget about the times you were unfair or the times you didn't care about me.

Because really, that's all it takes. One glance from you and I know I can be there for you. But would you do the same?

It's been a long time since we have been playing this game and I see myself losing. Losing myself to you but losing against myself.
