how will you know when you're already down for someone?
is there an indication or a sign?

is it when the school publication posted pictures after an event
and then you're looking at all the pictures to see which photo he's present?
is it when you're wondering every day and every night
about what's on his mind and if he's alright?
is it when he passed by you and you whispered "drive slowly"
and you pray that he would arrive in his destination safely?
is it when you create a Spotify playlist about him
and all of the songs in the playlist have meanings?
is it when you realize that you were staring at him most of the time
and all you think of is him from time to time?

if those are the signs and indications,
then there's no way up —
because i'm down for you,
here's my attention and all my love.
