a crowded hallway
music pounds through my ears
your laughter aches in yours
and when we pass by
our eyes lock
and it’s as if some unknowable force has sewn my lips together
something in my eyes ache
begging, reaching
desperate to hear you call my name
and sometimes i think
you want this too

a crowded hallway
music pounds through my ears
your laughter aches in yours
and when we pass by
our eyes lock
and it’s as if some unknowable force has sewn my lips together
something in my eyes ache
begging, reaching
desperate to hear you call my name
and sometimes i think
you want this too
