It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Dear diary,
Whatever made me write this?
This awful truth of mine.
What possessed me to spill my guts
with pen and paper,
where everyone can see?
Why profess my one true love,
to the one thing that won't understand me?
Why keep all my secrets,
diary,
in the confines of your covers?
When did I tell you that I
was failing?
When did I mention
my heartache?
Why not tell these
to my best friend?
The taboo
and the lies,
the habits
and the passion.
Oh, that's right,
society would murder
me,
and everybody
if we did.
