Chapter 12 - Undo

I deleted the photos out of respect

But they were some of the few memories we had

I gave you a second chance

Two, three years ago

Why am I now thinking of a second romance

With my best friend, one of three,

When I'm about to be off to college

My best opportunity needs me to be romantically free

If I hadn't dated you I would date you now

But you made mistakes while we were young

To take you now is quite the risk

I won't jump in two feet first

I'm naive, not dumb

Interview one was a good start but felt incomplete

So you get an interview two

Part of me just wants to say yeet

And fall into these feelings for you

Alas that is not who I am

However the heart never was one for listening

To logic or reason or anything reasonable

The heart is a rogue

And does the unthinkable

It feels and it beats when I think of the possibility

Of you and me

It gives me the butterflies to think of us together

But my brain won't let my heart go astray

I'm analyzing the facts of the matter at hand

More than emotions must be taken into account

Like potential and boundaries and the very dark reality

That perhaps all of this is because I'm lonely

And you're my best choice, my best friend

But I look back to the times where you had me

And I had you

Before we fell apart

Now and again I wish I could hit undo

So a brand new story had room to start

Life doesn't work this way

Sad as it may be

So time will tell what I'll let you be
