please stop writing

by Devon E Mattys

I said I was busy.
I wasn’t.
I just didn’t want to write to you.

You said I was pretty.
I’m not.
I can’t trust a thing you say.

My friends say
we got off on the wrong foot,
you and I.
But I know it’s deeper than that.
Love at first sight
must have an opposite.
And I know it.

Because I say I’m busy
but I’m hoping you haven’t written,
and when I see that you have,
I won’t read it.
Because I don’t like knowing you.
And you’ve hung around
for too long.

I like the flow it this just the way it is. It says just enough, and not too much, and not too little, and everything all at once and I like it!
