January's Poem

I fell in love on New Years Eve with a 34 year old boy whom I thought was too young but his eyes convinced me otherwise. So for a week at the coffee shop I felt happy and light and we would text (modern romance) the sweetest things at night. 

Then he just stopped talking to me and his heart shut and I felt like I was on a cold mountain top without knowing how I got there. I said "Lyle, there is something very interesting beside my left ear." He looked and replied "you just said that to look in to my eyes." (True)

I asked him why he didn't talk to me anymore and he said "New Years was fun, but this is reality."

And just like that the sweetness was gone and I feel more of what I always feel. My heart beats in volumes that know one can hear.
