a sumer night, i find a boat.

I tip my oar to raise the stroke
The wading swan, the image broke
A looming peak, a pirate size
Uprears its head a sudden guise
Takes me

why must this place be my go-to in times of mental distress?

suddenly, tonight, it hit me: i am an idiot.

my romantic life has been dry. so utterly dry.
with my current...crush?(this term makes me feel like a 13 year old girl), it's really not about the reality, but the thought that i fell in love[?] with.

based on a few steady glances and eye contact, my idiot mind builds a fabulous individual that is the yin to my yang, the perfect fella that i can wake up next to, share a conversation over coffee, and enjoy meals and music with. someone that i can dance with and enjoy their company.
Someone who is so outrageously normal and accessible.

but then I get a taste of the reality, and this perfect vision of an individual comes somewhat crashing down as I realize that this whole perfect vision was a construct of my own mind.

yep, idiot.
