We acted like teenagers
never saying what we meant
hinting with smiles and compliments.
We acted liked fools
when we were near one another
never ceasing to smile or laugh.

We acted like teenagers
staying up late talking
over messenger or text.
We acted like fools
stealing glances across rooms
enjoying each other's company.

We should have acted like adults
expressing our feelings
telling the truth.
We should have acted our age
then you'd be here beside me
not playing house with her.
