Oh, old habits die hard

I had thought things were getting better. I guess I thought wrong.

She said, "You're just being overly dramatic."

I'm just telling you how I feel. The thing is, I'm not being dramatic at all.

And that was how we said good night.

How do we proceed with any kind of relationship? I guard against thinking too much because this is my weakness, my failure, my open wound. I tell myself to stay calm, to not argue, to let things be, to let things fall away.

And she was correct - I was being overly dramatic.

What are my options? To get mad? To huff and puff? To force a conversation?

Oh
Old habits die hard
When you got
When you got
A sentimental heart
Piece of the puzzle
And you're my missing part
Oh, what can you do
With a sentimental heart
