The Feelings I've Denied

Anxious as I awaited his entry through the doorway.

Disappointment every time I saw it wasn’t the one I looked for.

Thrilled when I finally laid eyes on him.

Driven by an unknown force, I stood up and ran for him.

Happy I threw myself into his welcoming arms.

Euphoric I spoke the words, “I love you, too.”

Distress as I realized he didn’t mean it the way that I did.

Denial as I tried to convince myself that I’d fabricated the feelings.

Hopelessness as I realized they were true all along.
