I read you as you look at me up and down, left to right.
Seeing my anxiety, trembling hands as I kiss you.
Saying I love you with tears in my eyes wishing we never end.
You have no worries, confident smile
Chin up as you walk.
My shoulders relax then tense up as we stop walking
Now I have to say something
Something dumb, something important.
I smile and say what
You always call me beautiful, even though I will never believe it
Thank you is what I always say. I don't want to argue about that
I just want to be alone.
I give you a light hug. No kiss but you kiss me anyways
My music gets louder, my breathing gets shorter
My hands start trembling more
Anxiety consumes me yet again
No surprise it always does
I wish I never got attached.
I wish we never end.
