Symptoms May Include

No sugar no milk

So plain, your ordinary coffee to go

Said I was the sweetest thing you ever needed

To balance out that bitter drink

Empty admiration for a person with too much patience

And a person persevering every single persuasion

Nothing feels real

Nothing's ideal

I have butterflies fluttering freely in my stomach

I have a valentine floating easily in my daydreams

These are,

Symptoms of imaginary love

I have memory loss

Something is lost within

And nothing can help, not even your fictional grin

I don't deserve this

I'm losing sleep

Haven't seen myself in over a week

I think now's the time to joke about it

Just look at me

A beauty, a fabulous queen

How could any being

Overlook someone this pretty

They say, your time will come

This is a part of life

Start chewing that bubble gum

Prepare yourself to be that perfect wife

 

But if this obligatory

What's the bigger story

Why am I the central plot

Of someone's desperate thoughts

Symptoms of imaginary love

I have memory loss

Something is lost Within

And nothing can help, not even your fictional grin

I don't deserve this

Can I unlearn this

Shut my eyes and never see

That house, that car, that small puppy

With no one there

White picket fence

I mean no offense it's just

Symptoms of imaginary love

Might just be all of the above
