(written after reflection on an old crush)

I remember on the day
that your heartbeat sounded like raindrops

You fell asleep on me at lunch
And when I woke you up
you said "I haven't dreamt like that in ages"
and it made me wonder how old you really were
How many years you accidentally added to your repertoire
At the time I thought it normal
but after six months of avoiding you
I realized that you were just really good
At playing grown-ups
