Knowing

(Sometimes, dating isn't fun...)

In your heart, you know this one is wrong
He’s nice enough
Cute, funny, smart
Generous

But something isn’t right

At first, you dismiss it
Then you question it
You try to accept it
But you can’t

It comes creeping out late at night

When you are alone
With no one around to explain it away
Or justify it
And you can’t accept it anymore

So you end it

Your heart HURTS
Even though you are making the right decision
Why does your heart hurt so much?
Your heart knows this had to be done.

You wish he wasn’t so nice, so cute,

So funny, so smart
So generous
It would make things easier.
