it always starts the same.
girl meets boy,
or boy meets boy,
and one of them falls helplessly head over heels

in love?
love at first sight is a lie
a fallacy force-fed by society
that one day you'll meet the perfect person and fall

well, it was true for me.
the most incredible girl just
wandered into my life
even though I barely knew her she left footprints on

your heart?
well, we all know what happens now.
you live happily ever after

no. there was no happy ever after,
just me, helpless for her
we dated,
me dying for the seconds we spent together, and she-
well, she didn't really

care? oh, she cared.
just not about you.
because what they don't tell you about love at first sight
is that they almost never love you back.
