Talking with each other
About the randomness of the day.
Going from topic to topic;
Conversation is easy.
Being with my friends
Everything feels right.
When you walk through the door
My heart flutters at the sight of you.
Ignoring their reactions
All I see is you.

Laughing and joking
Our tendencies to show how much we care
Slip by others who don’t understand.
Light shines through the darkest abyss
Bringing happiness and joy.
You sit beside me
Letting me hold you as we watch videos.
One wrong thing
Changes everything between us all.

Curling into a ball
Leaving the world behind.
Hurt and despair take over
Nothing else breaks through.
All you had to do was sit there
Right beside me.
Instead all you did was focus your hate;
Directing it towards him.
Tension built making every movement uncomfortable.
Why should I be uncomfortable around you?
Why should I be uncomfortable in my own room?

Tears fall down my face
As you are consumed with your hatred.
You don’t acknowledge that here I sit.
You can’t show emotion
Not while he is here.
He makes everything seem unnatural.
Why are you so focused on him?
Why can’t you lay here beside me
As we always do?

Now I’m pleading.
Please stay here with me.
Please pay attention to me!
You didn’t come over to see him!
You came for me!
I didn’t know he was going to be here.
For once, can’t you just try to be nice?
At least for my sake?
I don’t care if you like him or not
All I want is to lay beside you
With your arm as my pillow
As I run my fingers through your hair.
