It's kind of like picking petals off a flower
You love him
Then you don't
Then you're not sure
Now you wish you never knew him
Then it starts all over again on a different flower
One with more petals
More thoughts
You're sick of it
The flowers are an endless cycle
But winter's just around the corner
