You know that old saying
"Actions speak louder than words"?
Well, I've learned to observe
the behavioral patterns
of when our conversations
become a burden.
I am a professional at
reading the signs
of unamused eyes
and you just stare
right through me.
I guess that is fair play.
After all, I used to say
too much
and you cared
when you could.
Foolish of me to think there would
ever be a middle.
We left on words
misunderstood
and nothing more
would follow.
You had a boundary
that I overlooked.
I guess
"hello"
was all
it
took.
