What I want to say
What I would do if I could
The moments where you stop speaking
I watch you immerse yourself
In the silence
Where you calculate my words
And saturate them with your own feelings.

You looked so beautiful
As my mind and my eyes
Watched all of the cars and city lights
**** right behind your head
In moments we scratch each other
Only to lean back in.

There is a deep darkness to it
I think about the way your face would light up
When you would first see me
When you first started seeing me.

We're able to acknowledge that it's happening now
The frequency of it
Someone asked us where we met
I wish you could just let yourself fall in love with me.

I think I'll always wish that about you though
I worked through a forest to arrive here now
Another love reaches out a hand
With a comforting calm
And the spirit of someone
Who values dialogue.

I wonder to myself if he and I
Are better together on trips
I wonder if you and I
Struggle to find time
Because we are so caught up
In ourselves.

I think we kissed before you had to go
As a flood of flashing lights
It was so fun to dance with you
Dividing our time up
When you don't answer me I worry
But I know there is no point
No point in climbing into a hole
Of feeling neglected.

You said you like tom boys
I said you bring out the girly side of me
I've done so much to adapt to this.
