Stuck

This is all happening so fast

it has caught me off guard and I am off balance

I had feelings for her and she had feelings for me

but it just couldn’t work out

at least not that way

and it hurt to accept that

Now within days another girl comes

and I am stuck with the possibility of going

into the same situation

and I am afraid to put myself and her through that

I don’t want to be hurt

but most of all, I don’t want her to hurt

I’m stuck being pulled in two different directions

one half of my heart wants to try with her

the other half wants to stay back for both our sakes

I don’t know which one is the right decision

but for right now

I will stay back just a little

and hope that one day

we get put in a better situation
