Trees - joshler

Standing cowardly

|TRIGGERS|

Tyler POV

Okay

I was sitting in my tree

Thinking about the song I just wrote

Trees

I don't know how i feel about it

I just wish I could say hello to the boy

It's been 3 days since he climbed the tree

And I didn't get to come yesterday

Because rain

Then I heard the foot steps

I had a good feeling about today

But it seemed he didn't

He sat against the tree and screamed

"GAH"

"WHY AM I HERE"

"WHAT IS THE POINT"

He stopped yelling but he cried loudly instead

He reached into his pocket

And pulled out another blade

He didn't carve the tree this time

I gasped

Then I felt a lonesome tear fall down my face

|tyler, josh|

Now is the time

I took a deep breath and swallowed

"I know where you stand"

He threw the blade to the ground and pulled his sleeve down

"Silent in the trees"

He stood up and looked around

"Who's singing?"

I heard how scared he was in his voice

"And that's where I am"

"WHERE?!"

He was terrified at this point

I felt another tear roll down my face as I sang

"Silent in the trees"

He immediately looked up

I hid behind some leaves

"Standing cowardly"

He started to sob

Which made me cry more

He went to get out of the forest

"Please don't go"

I jumped out of the tree and felt more tears fall from my face

"Who are you"

"Tyler"

"How long have you been watching me from my tree?"

He kept a distance between us

"Well I've sat in this tree long before you came here but I've watched you since the first time you came..."

I felt my face get hot

"Sorry I would've said hi the first time but I'm a coward"

"Oh"

I sat down against the tree quietly

He looked at me

Then he approached me while wiping his face

He sat next to me

"Well my names josh"

He said nervously

"Ok"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Well you just did so..."

He added an awkward laugh

"Why were you crying?"
