You're just like everybody else, Snowflake.
I was afraid of that,
But I gave you a piece of my heart anyway.
It happens, whether you want it to
Or not, you know,
When you stay up all night
Telling all your secrets;
When you trust people;
When you believe in them.
And though I couldn't entertain the thought,
I couldn't help but fall in love a little.
When I told you that
I stand in the periphery,
You were so shocked-
(How could someone so vibrant
Not be the very sun?)
So surprised and appalled
When I told you that people get bored of me,
But it's been two months,
And you've already moved on
Four times.
They say that hindsight is 20/20. (Sorry I couldn't resist that cliche.)

This is my second poem for NaPoWriMo2015! It's my first day writing, and I'm already catching up! Sort of.

I've kind of had bits and pieces of thoughts for this poem floating around in my head for a little while, but they finally congealed.

This poem is about an acquaintance of mine (who I really would have liked to consider a friend,) who hasn't really talked to me once he found out that I am not looking for a relationship.

I already liked the poem, then I read the last line of your description, and BINGO! Very similar to what happened to me. If that helps at all.
