I don’t think when I’m around you.

You speak,

I reply,

Because I want to talk to you.

I want to hear you speak.

I want to hear your thoughts.

I want to know you.

But you can’t know

that I want to know,

because it would ruin everything.

And I got too bold.

I said it.

I regret it.

Slow dance,

Reject,

Okay.

You don’t want me.

No one does.

I get it.

I’m not going to hate you.

How could I?
You’re flawless.

But you want her.

It’s okay.

I’m okay.

I’m also a liar.
