This was hard to post because it is embarrassing to admit, but I did it because I'm sure some of you guys can relate. Alsooooo... the guy in the photo is Matthew Gray Gubler. He played Dr. Spencer Reid in the show Criminal Minds. <3 He inspired this poem!
I long to fall asleep so I can see you in my dreams. My dad starts to worry about the books I like to read. I love to watch TV because I see you on the screen. I try to impress a fictional character that I will never meet. Your smile is so bold. Let's face it- You're really old. But my heart is getting cold. And I need you to warm me up with your heart of gold. I don’t know you in real life. But I know you in my head, And that is enough for me. However, loving you forces me to let things fly by. Like the chances of being with a really great guy. I feel like it’s cheating, I feel like it’s wrong. The truth is, I’m scared. I don’t want to move on. I’m comfortable with you. And our fantastical love affair. So, I push other men aside, And act like I don’t care. I fall to deep in love with someone not real. Because I’m scared of rejection. I’m scared of love. I’m afraid to feel…
