This is why I don't get attached
I.
It has been 40 hours
since I last held your hand
or gave you a hug
and I miss you like a little kid
II.
My legs burn from cross country and
there's a cut on my neck
from when my mom cut my hair
I miss holding your hand
III.
You asked if you could do something
impulsive and
I didn't respond because
my voice caught in my throat and
I wasn't sure if I'd heard you right
Im still not but
I would have said that
it was almost 4 am and I might
have seen a dead man a
couple of hours ago so I don't see
how you could be any more impulsive but
yeah it's nearly 4 am and
I'm 15 and
I'm tired of being smart
But my voice caught in my throat and
I was never good at being anything but
the good kid
But the answer is yes
