what if its all a lie?

i hate myself for being able to read so deeply into a very simple and shallow relationship. i'm trying to create this super complex relationship out of something that, deep down, i know is just as simple as it appears to everyone else.

everything we say to each other is some sort of code that only i know exists. and only i know how to break it. and of course the way to break it is to turn every sentence, every word, even every glance, into a

secret confession of love.

i do this all the time. only once has it worked out the way i wanted it to.

and even then, the relationship was purely romanticized in my mind as something much more than it really was. and i was left to pick up the shattered remains of my broken heart when i realized what i had done.

i don't want to do that again. not anymore. i don't care if even half the stuff i imagine is true.

i need to stop myself before its too late.
i need to allow whatever will happen to happen.
i need to stop trying to rush things.
i need to stop making something out of nothing.
i need to.

i do the same thing. with almost every boy i know. i convince myself that everyone likes me so i don't have to confront the depressing truth that no one does. except hunter, who only sometimes does.
