Elucidating Questions

Do you remember all the reasons

No way

You’ve never met him before

He’s a drug addict

He loves another girl

He’s not gay

He’s not bi

He’s not going to notice you

He’s too beautiful

He’s out of your league

He’s not the person he says he is

He’s not the same as he is on stage

You don’t even know him

You can’t love him

I wonder what I just stood in the kitchen sobbing for.

You can’t love him

I wonder why I dream of him every night

The night I couldn’t fly

And he reminded me how

I can’t tell you the answer to any of those questions or finish the poem for you,

But it’s not a crime to love
