Falling for Him

Wanting is a hard-to-control desire. Especially when the one you want is always there.
Every friendly gathering, all the daily functions…he is there.
But acting on those desires almost broke me last time.
I made a promise to myself. This time, I would be strong. This time, I would refrain.
My heart couldn’t take another rejection.
I am my own worst enemy.
I am the first person to criticize myself, the first person to find the bad in the smallest situations.
But he manages to chip away at me, finding the smallest crack.
And in the middle of the darkest of times, even though I do my best to fight it, he pulls me back.
But giving in, letting myself fall again, may be the worst mistake I make.
This time, it just might destroy me.
