I didn't mean to.

I didn’t mean to.
I didn’t mean to feel anything for you.
I didn’t really want to.
See, every time I start to feel things
that make butterflies flutter in my stomach
those butterflies open the cages of my insecurities, and they fly faster and are stronger than any measly butterfly.
I didn’t mean to let my thoughts run wild.
Those thoughts about every other man who let me crash and burn.
Who led me on and let me go.
Who brought the butterflies, just to stomp them out.
I didn’t mean to start missing you
I didn’t mean to feel this way
But now I do and I won’t mean to, but I’ll worry about you
Cooped up and injured
I hope you’re okay today
I hope it doesn’t hurt
I hope this isn’t the universe screaming that the timing is all wrong
But you make me smile when I’m crying
And no one else can make everything seem like it’s going to be okay with a few words
How can that be wrong?
I may not have meant to
But my secret is
I’m so glad I did.
