Love and Boredom
I'm falling in love with you
Out of boredom
And dejection,
And out of being tired of myself.
I don't want to think anymore—
Take the thoughts away,
Though right now I'm only thinking about you
And thinking about how creepy it is
That I'm only thinking about you…
I wonder if I'm wasting my time,
But it's ok because time is a good thing to waste.
After all, we build our entire lives out of our obsessions,
Whether it's our jobs or our diet,
Or our sleep schedule or our family,
Or our hobbies or maybe our favorite movies,
Or, for me, right now,
It's probably you.
Or not.
I'm actually bored right now,
Just imagining what it would be like
To fall in love with ‘you, '
Even though ‘you' don't exist.
