I fall in love too easily

i wrote this about kacey mcaslin a girl in the 7th grade that i really like

circa 2000 

this was written to a grown-up who tried to befriend me when I was a little girl, but I was unable to let her in, for fear that my sadness would overwhelm her.

About a woman who is more dear to me than either of us will probably ever know. She isn't near to me (though i wish she was) just dear to me. If that sounds too melodramatic, then let's just say she is the coolest person i know, and the most like me of any of the people i've written poems about. ;)

It would be obvious to anyone who has ever been involved in a cold relationship, that my motive for this poem was unrequited love.  The fact that I was married to the object of that love only made it worse.
