Around here, however, we don&#039;t look backwards for very long.<br /> We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we&#039;re curious.....And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.<br /> -Walt Disney

"Why?"
I whisper to my reflection in the night.
"Why must it be him?"

I'm referring to why this crush must be my longest running.
After all, it's just a crush.

Tears stream down my face
for the millionth time in two years.

Ok, I don't really like any of this. I just wanted to express the actual pain of this that I experience almost every night. There's really no other purpose. And since I'm following that stream of consciousness, I'm going to list every poem, no matter how bad.
