If I'm over him
Does that mean I can't miss him?
He was friend, too
Not just a crush

Common sense says
To just forget about him
But my scream at me
To talk to him

Notice I'm still a little
Defensive when I see
Someone else flirting
With him

And it's like
A dagger
Going through y heart
When I see him flirt back

I constantly remind myself
That I'm over him
And I tell others the same
But only twice as much

It's like if
I tell myself
Enough times
It will actually be true

But to be completely honest
My heart still race
And I still stumble over my words
When he's around

I guess
There's still a little shimmer
Of hope that something will happen
Even though he's 7 years older I

I know nothing will ever happen
Between us, but I can guarantee
That that little shimmer of hope
Will be the death of me

Nice work on the details! It's kind of sad reading the end but at least you're sure :P I liked the poem a lot
