excitement By Maddy Butler

how do you do this to me? the way i have a ridiculously huge smile on my face when i text you the way my heart practically beats out of my chest before i see you is it really possible that i found someone who understands me someone who has been through the same pain as me someone who makes me feel this good about myself you reassure me you’re too good to be true i want this feeling to last forever our hour long conversations over the phone are not long enough i want you next to me i wish we could talk like this forever but doubt begins to sneak its way in do you really like me? what are your true motives with me? are you going to leave me? i told myself to stop thinking so negatively until i realized the negativity i felt was true and you left me just like i thought you would
