Breakable

- she wished she never knew -

There were things she wished she never knew

Like the way he looked when he laughed,
and the way he looked over
seeming to see her,
not just the words she hid behind.

The way he fidgeted with his pen when he was bored,
and the way his eyes glistened,
when he tried to hide
the pain that lay just under the surface.

The way he talked,
the way he joked,
the way he smiled,
the way he loved.

In the end,
she just wished
that the love
was for her
instead.
