people say that when you like someone, you should tell them.
they say that it makes everything easier in the end.

but those people won't tell you what to do
when what i need to say can't be said
or how to stop my face from turning bright red

i'd like to think the people who would so easily say
what they feel, wouldn't realize how special you are
(like how you made me cry from laughter under fake stars)
or wouldn't remember your favorite candy
or know how you are just as sweet
(mondays and wednesdays became my favorite part of the week)

without you here,
if they ask, i say i'm just fine
but it's all off without your shaky hands across the table from mine
i don't want to listen to my music anymore because you love those bands too
and i wonder if anyone will stay in the library all night just to be with you

but i guess those people know a thing or two
because they never worry about the silly things that i do
and those types of people always seem to interest you
