i sit alone
my feet not quite touching the ground
so i let them swing, ever so slightly

my thoughts
they're so muddled in my head
i can't quite put them into words

footsteps
i hear them coming closer and closer
i bite my lip as they grow louder

step

stopping
you take a seat beside me and inhale
you ask what's wrong, if i'm okay

im not
and against my better judgement
i talk to you anyways

i exhale
when i look up, youre looking at me
a faint smile growing on your lips

sweet

you nod
a timid movement i barely notice
and you start to speak

i listen
you tell me you feel the same as me
like youre trapped in a box

im shocked
you were the last person id expect
to feel the same as i do

you

get

you get me
and i cant help but smile softly at you
because its the first time

the first time
anyone has ever really understood me
and it makes me so happy

and so i
lean my head on your shoulder, gently
and i close my eyes as i breathe you in
