Why do you care if I eat or not
Why do you care if I sleep on the floor or not
Why do you care
Why
Why
Why
I understand friends do this but this isn't a normal friend behavior
I lied earlier
I remember you trying to pick me up last night off the floor and convinced me to sleep on the futon next to you
I remember mumbling I felt sick and nauseous
But you were soft and gentle trying to coax me up to walk over on my own
And when I did eventually cave, and had fallen asleep,
hours later when the sun was starting to rise,
you had me wrapped in your arms like you used to do
Every little movement I made, you drew me closer
You cuddled me like we were still together,
hugged me like I was the one you wanted still,
comforted me and warmed me like we would on cold nights because of my body temperature being finicky with the chill
Friends don't do that
And I can't tell if you remember any of that or not,
but you're acting different
Sweeter, more caring than after we broke up
And I'm scared I'll let the emotions that stayed with me get in control again
I don't want to interpret things wrong, but I also don't... want you to stop being like this..
I'm so confused
