I don't

I don't

Open at your words

Your touch

I don't

Listen to

Anyone anymore.

I am completely in my head.

I know we don't have time for this mess.

I do it anyway.

I don't

Pay attention.

I can't.

Don't, I tell myself.

Don't be that 

Cold-shouldered                icy stare              lifeless            fake smile

Girl.

Could you instead be

Love            light          laughter          connection?

I could.

But

I don't.

    Butterfly kiss, soft against my skin.

    Promises.

    Cyclone of feeling, enveloping not just me, but us.

    Honey-brown sunset eyes, on my green hazel.

  • Watch faces

    I talked with this third grader on the bus

    she asked to see my watch face. 

    I showed her and said, 

    "this is me and my boyfriend at a concert we played

    at the Flynn"

    are you still in love?
