Five minutes swapping expressions
To Two long abusive years of contant shoving my dreams away
Swapping mountain Dews at recess to giving me easy kicks at kickball
Locking my expressions, my free speech, my mind, and my love
Swapping notes and homework before school starts were a stupid idea from me
I felt eaten alive by lotcuses and crows
But I feel like a fool for even expressing my heart to you
Leaving a knife of betrayal in my heart
I remembered when you asked me my name
I was trying to pull my thoughts around to tell you
It did not matter to you
I remembered when you showed me around
"Being the new kid was rough" you told me
The gentle push you gave me to be more assertive gave me hope that
Maybe we can learn more about each other
Now it is like we can't see each other in the eye
I have a can of mountain dew for you
It's waiting for you...
When you want to talk
