Have you ever felt something

too good to be true?

The feeling of certainty

mixed with excitement and hope.

Your heart ready to take off

like a rocket launching into space.

Your mind searching for a sign

something to dignify its hesitance.

Analyzing every word that is said

as if trying to decode a bomb.

Thinking over every move that is made

To try and understand one simple question.

Why me?

One simple question.

Two simple words.

Holding so much hurt and insecurity.

A lot can be learned

from two simple words.

Why me?

Somehow, she was told she wasn't enough.

She was made to believe

that she was a last resort.

She tries not to think.

She tries not to cry.

She tries to understand

how someone like him

could ever see something in her.

But she can never understand,

because all her life she was told

no one worth loving, will ever love her.

So she doubts and denies.

She questions and fears.

She braces herself for the inevitable departure

knowing her heart will be ruined.

Crushed under the pressure of her pain.

Suffocated from her world under water.

Surrounded by darkness and nothing.

Yet inside she is still just a girl.

A girl who longs for true love.

So she will allow herself to fall,

knowing she won't be caught

praying she will survive the crash.

For insecure girl throw their everything

into the slightest chance

at happily ever after.
