He likes you
This I know.
He doesn't like her
I also know this.
He touches you,
talks to you,
has fun with you.
He is bipolar towards her.
He's grown used to her ways,
lived them,
loved them,
learned from them,
hated them.
People say she's consumed with jealousy.
What they don't know,
is that she isn't.
She is not jealous.
She does not get jealous-it's not her.
She's come to the knowledge of:
He's not hers, she has no reason to be jealous
Come to knowledge that
She can't be jealous of something that's not hers
Come to the realization that
He may never be hers
and she's perfectly fine with that.

Now you-
You're in the same position they were.
You're just a different version of her.
You've come to the knowledge that
He doesn't like her
Come to the knowledge that
He does care for you
Come to the realization that
You can rub him in her face

But do you realize that she doesn't care?
I assume you don't.
I know you don't.
Because you are one of those people.
Because you are unaware.
This is not a game.
This is reality.
This is manipulation.

Now,
I've learned to read people.
I can read you.
I can read her.
I can read them.
I can read us.
Once a person is able to read others,
they become full of knowledge.
Knowledge of
people
life
peoples' lives
anything.
This is reality.
This is life.

What do you want me to say?
Do you want me to ask
Where did we go wrong?,
Why are you ignoring me?,
Are you ashamed of me?,
Are you ashamed to be seen with me?,
What did I do?,
Or is it you?,
Are you the one who ******* everything up?,
Why ignore me then act like my friend?,
What's going on between us?,
Tell me how you really feel about me.

But
I know you want me to not say anything and go on pretending
as if everything was fine.

I stand back a ways,
and watch as you are with your sister.
Though she may be older, I see the way you care for her.
Your arm wraps around her waist
to pose for pictures.
Your big rough hand rests limply on
the curve of her waist that forms into her hips
as your other hand is your pants pocket.
You look down at her,
your short big sister,
and see a smile spread across her face as
she looks at the camera.
You can't help but smile at her genuine innocence.
I can see that you would do anything for her.
She's your sister
and you look up to her.
You hug her tight
and she kisses your cheek.
While you may not share her genuine innocence,
it brings out the innocent parts of you.
The ones that can help you love
and care for not only her,
but others.
She one of those people that brings the best out in you.
