Confusion
Your words linger in my brain
Can’t get them out my head
Was overthinking all night
Can’t seem to go to bed
My confusion on high
My focus on low
I thought I was over this oh so long ago
Drawn by nostalgia, Feels like the old days
Now once again, I’m weak from your lovely gaze
Innocent flirtation
Turns into confusion
Can’t tell if it’s illusions or if I’m simply deluded
Your words & actions contradict
They don’t seem to match
Yet I’m still admiring your being
I’m still so attached
I gaze at your eyes while you lock on mine
Hoping we could stay at that place for the rest of the night
Then the next day comes around
Said it was mistake, it shouldn’t had happened
I relish the same the day you regret
I wish it was a day that I could forget
I can’t but I wish I could hit reset
I'm addicted to the memory like smokers are with cigarettes
Remember the vibe, even remember our silhouettes
I wish it was something that I could just forget

Hi. I'm Jason Exantus. This piece I wrote is about a one sided romantic interest and how the person feels led on. It talks about how much that one day with the love interest meant to them but to the other person, it was a moment that they regretted that day and how it shouldn't have happened. I wrote this because sometimes in our lives, we care about people and give a lot but we don't gain the same treatment for them.
