I'm too good at breaking my own heart

Vivid imagination
Coupled with good intention
Always leads to inflated opinions of who a person could be
More so who you could be for another
Preparation and taking care
Time given filled with attentiveness
Missing all the marks  
Yet still continuing on this journey
All to fall of the cliff
The cliff of your heightened opinion
Falling to your death
Yet along the way thinking
Thinking of all that could've been
Thinking of all that you have missed
Feeling like a fool
Yet having no way to take things back
Miraculously you survive  
Checking your body
You realize your body is fine
Your mind is still in disarray  
But as you walk off
You realize your heart is broken
What you saw as falling in love
Was just you falling to your dismay
