An Obsession

April 25, 2018 by szachik@pvs.org 3 Comments

By Olive Yew (I love you)

 

We,

as humans,

become obsessed.

We obsess over

the things we love,

and sometimes,

the things we hate.

In our obsessions,

we fail to notice

the people

who obsess

over us.

So,

I just want you to

know

that I am obsessed.

With you.

But.

You are obsessed

with

someone

else.
