Hello

It's like I'm seeing him for the first time

We're not ready for goodbyes yet, we're still on hellos'

Getting past the hello is unsteady and one move may cause him to collapse

Being comfortable with him is my goal

He's making it difficult when his eyes have a purpose on mine. His gaze sails on beams and crash on boulders

I try to speak but the words come out stuttered and fuzzy; my fingers clutching my jacket anxiously

All I can hear is his voice, his words slip past me, and I can't remember anything around him

I concentrate on the pitch and tone he uses and just walking next to him is a sign I should stay

Refresh my memory by checking my pulse
