i cannot feel this way about you

            just when I’ve reduced you to background noise

            you find your way back to me

            like that old 80s song that I love

            playing on the radio

            bringing me back to the way we were

            to the way i imagine we could be,

            note by bittersweet note

and without a single thought or hesitation

i follow

a heart full of hope,

feckless fool
