Because of You.
The air is completely silent other than our breaths, it's odd that I'm scared to let you hear I'm still alive.
Saliva builds in my mouth because I am nervous.
You rub your hands, but I couldn't begin to tell what was wrong.
I wondered if you ever tried not to laugh, if you held back, or truly didn't find anything funny.
You walk real slow, as if there was a skin cutting wire wrapped around your ankles, digging deeper into you as the day goes on.
You walk as if there is nobody around, as if you take up no space.
Nothing could compel me more than maybe unawareness?
Maybe it's simply non willingness.
Again you just stare off, I try hard not to make a face. Not really looking at anyone, or anything, just kinda ceasing to be anything, without a reason I'm aware of.
I wondered if you make good choices, or if you were the type to go on manic sprees.
I thought about whether you would like my shirt or shoes when I picked them out.
Not because I didn't like those things, or wanted to impress you, but because I felt like I could wear them
because of you.
