Our Minds
Our minds are a powerful thing –
I can romanticize you,
imagine future dates,
focus on my favorite aspects of you,
airbrushing your words
taking in only what I want to hear,
causing my heart to grow in affection for you,
or
I can add my own presumptions
behind your lack of communication
convincing myself you are no longer interested
before our story has even begun
