Because if you actually paid attention

    you'd notice all the facts

    and all of the dirty looks

    and all of the secrets shared.


If you actually watch how people interacted

    you'd realize that he loves her

    and she doesn't sleep at night

    and they can't be around each other.


Or if you took a step back

     you'd see he doesn't call his mom back

    and she doesn't see her dad

    and how they try to hide themselves.

Because if you actually paid attention

     you'd realize nobody is happy

    and nobody is perfect

    and everybody lies about one thing or another.

but you'll see that everyone

    has one person they connect with,

    at least a little bit more

    than anybody else -
