He Didn't Mean Anything

This is the the time where I usually know.

This time is different. 

You barely mean something to me.

It's been two months.

We talk everyday.

But it hasn't changed anything.

On the outside I care.

On the outside I don't.

Even now I thought I was possibly falling for you.

That I might have feelings.

That day you were I didn't feel anything. 

I wasn't attached.

I wanted to feel something but I didn't. 

Now you know how I feel

Author's Note

I listened to the song "Tiny Vessels by Death Cab for Cutie" and well this is also how I feel about someone who I wanted to fall for. But didn't

A memorable write and you are not wrong
A heart wants to sing but cries a sad sweet song
I know how you feel my girl as we walk along

[Aly]

Love isn't something you can force... There will be many people in life that seem to be the one on the outside, but on the inside are nothing more then men who just didn't have that x-factor. I thought the poem was great and love how you could relate to it. Thank you for sharing, yours truely Danielle

I agree with quinfinn that we cannot make ourselves fall for someone and it happens without reasons and planning. Your poem brought this out very well and more.
Thank you for sharing it!

[Aly]

thank you :) glad you enjoyed.

[DIVYA]

welcome.

[quinfinn]

i like the directness and the brutal efficiency of this honest piece of prose. i am not familiar with the song you mention in your note but i am sure it is a real kicker. i don't understand how you "want" to fall for someone...it just happens or doesn't in my experience. maybe it's a generational thingy. i am in my 50's.....anyway, very, very good write.

[Aly]

Thank you. Because when someone likes you, I dunno but in my experience you can't help but like them back. With this guy I don't like him the way he likes me.

[Aly]

I wanted to like him. Want to like him. but I don't.

[quinfinn]

oh, okay, that i do get.....thank you for clarifying that for me.
