call that love

how is it that

i can dream so

frequently

when my

feelings are so

infrequent

who thought

it would be

so hard for a

romantic

to fall in love

it's not a good

reason - but i'm

dissolving

every particle

another fear

or another tear

after my family

has left me

behind

and when

my friends

couple away

i'm too

anxious for

social connection

don't you see

another warm

body next to

mine would

be nice, but

i can't exactly

call that

love
