Falling Up

You will never fall in love with me.
Don’t try to convince me
That I will always wait for you.
If you really look, you’ll see
I’m not here for the long haul
Don’t imagine
You give me reason to stay.
When things get hard I’ll leave –
Don’t imagine
I’m not like the others,
Goodbye.
I’ll never say
I love you.

      1. Your title of poem captured my attention. Then I read it atop to bottoms you said to…then read it bottom to top. It blew my mind, as I’m involved with a person who feels like ‘top to bottom’ while I feel ‘bottom to top’ πŸ˜‰
