her
i don't know how
or even when
i figured out i was
totally into you.
i'd been listening
to a taylor swift song
i'm almost certain
and i'd been brushing
my hair,
raising my eyes to stare
at my reflection
in the mirror.
and in my eyes it was there.
that unmistakable
look of love.
shit, shit, shit.
this can't be happening.
kept replaying in my head.
one night
i remember coming in,
distraught.
my world felt like it was
crumbling and like
i might start sobbing if
you teased me even once.
the moment i walked by,
you noticed something
was off.
your social cues are nonexistent;
so i figured you wouldn't
even care.
but you stood
when i walked in
and from that look on
your face i knew
you know.
