i'm gonna fall in love
with you
again
well,
not with you
but with the memories

because i know
everything's
spoiled now

but when i remember
that aloof way
you hooked me
and the way
you made me so
hard-shelled
(and then slept
with your head on my
shoulder)

i fell in love
with that rare sweetness,
that ironic benevolence,
that genuine kindness
that no longer exists

now i fall in love
with the memories

Author's Note: i've been cranking out poems lately. they're not that great, but i have so many things to be said.
