She said, "You make me feel like I'm in the wrong skin."
And as he sat there in contemplation of this newest revelation
She told him about Thursday And how he'd kissed her that way And how it made her feel whole As if they were one being meant to be Joined at the mouth, But had snapped apart and were together Again
She told him about the way her heart Raced with anxiety And her fingers shook every day But when he kissed her everything went numb And her brain thought slowly And the world kept turning And she wasn't afraid it would stop anymore
Finally, she told him about the skin She told him that being away from him Made her snap back to reality But she had finally tasted happiness And her old reality felt all wrong She felt all wrong without him
She asked him if he loved her She couldn't bear to leave him
