Maketh Me Swoon

Tragedy on a collegiate level

I probably shouldn’t have even brought that up. I’m sorry if I got to you . I didn’t mean to mess with your head. You’ve got alot of stuff to think about with college and all. It’s just that I don’t meet many people such as yourself and I hate to see things go that have the potential to be great things. Even if the chances of those things are very slim, I’m always up to take a risk. But your right about me being in FSU. That would make things really crazy but I’m just a wishful thinker.

It’s like every time I think about you I wish it would be us. I want to have a reason to move my emotions towards you higher. But at the same time I’m setting myself up to fall even harder. I hate that I do things like this to people but it bothers me even more to hold things back. I can’t just sit back and watch things pass me by. It’s not in my nature.

If you just want to ignore all of this it’s cool, but I doubt that will happen. I’m not sure what to expect. But that is what keeps life interesting.

Sometimes I like to just sit around and think about things that could have been. Not so much you and me, but lately it has been. I’m always one to just hope for things.

I just like you. alot. You just hit me as a person that would be worth putting time aside to be with. I would go out of my way to do something for you. I want to fall in love. It’s probably just me. If it is then I’m very very sorry for doing this to you. I never meant to hurt you or confuse you. I just wanted to have something more between us.
