Wishful Thinking


A shy girl.. afraid of the world.. afraid of showing her heart. Scared to get hurt..to be judged. Oblivious to love.. "love's a waste" she says, but deep down doesn't believe that as much. Love's in her heart but not in her mind.. and her mind is a thing of beauty.., an over-zealous, sometimes stupid.. thing of beauty. A crazy man.. completely the opposite but much the same. "Love's on his mind.." he says and she thinks 'maybe on mine too'. But minds drift.. Time comes and goes... the seasons change and the distance grows.. and on her mind is someone else, someone comfortable. She lets it grow, her feelings for once.. trick her mind into believing that he is the one. She tries to show her heart for once.....

But shit happens.. and sometimes it's over even before it can begin.

The lonely girl.. without a care for the world.. stitches herself back piece by piece. Still the same.. but much different. And bit by bit.. it becomes okay for her to face the world and say "love's a waste" and maybe this time she believes it too. But life's a bitch and then again someone's on her mind... the crazy man. She hates and denies, her crazy mind. But he's always there. They ask.. she lies. She stalks , she hides, her embarrassed mind .. just not willing to accept it ..or maybe she has.

But the time's running out.. the end is near.. soon it'll be the time for goodbyes. She smiles.. she hides.. she listens and just wonders. He tries.. and leaves , then again and again.. the same cycle repeats.. just a never ending spiral. Maybe it's love .... or maybe just wishful thinking.
