I could tell you were in love because you started showing up more often and I could tell you were in love because you sat in a different seat than you normally did and I could tell you were in love by the way you bit your lip for a moment before reminding yourself to stop and I could tell you were in love because you'd enter the room with the most bashful smile on your face and your hands were shaking and there was a tint of pink on your cheeks and I could tell you were in love because you started to change yourself. The way you dressed, the way you did your hair and I couldn't understand why you would want to change something that was already perfect to begin with and I could tell you were in love by the way you spoke about love like you understood it so well and you spoke about it while looking across the room at someone with your pupils dilated and this look I had never seen before and I could tell you were in love, just not with me.
