Drowning, really, in the sorrows of my own

I could have grabbed

that line of fence beyond what I know

and what I could feel everytime you touched

a part of me

a hand on my back,

fingers in my hair.

When can I feel that again?

Lips pressed and eyes looking away,

you said no, never again.

And I listened, and waited, and waited

because that wasn't us.

We didn't do serious,

Talking? No.

We did arguments for phones not answered

13 missed, once caught

we did that,

and we did it with smoke curling around us.

Courage didn't find me,

didn't wait or bother to.

Turns out courage didn't find you either,

you could so easily

say no to me and the touches I give

standing so silently,

when hands find my skin absently,

like I'd always be there for you to touch.

I am though in a sense,

and I'll stand here,

your hands for me,

willing myself to find somebody,

anybody

like you.
