we stand side by side,
our shoulders touching.
i hold my book
close to my chest
and look up at you.
you're gazing into the distance,
and i can't read
the stars in your eyes.
i ask you a question,
not because i want to know the answer,
but because i want to remind myself
what your voice sounds like.
i have to look away
because i am lovesick.
i am damaged.
i can't keep doing this,
even if i want to,
even if your freckles are glowing,
even if it's raining
outside.

 i can't keep doing this, even if i want to,even if your freckles are glowing,even if it's rainingoutside
