read between the lines

I think, maybe

You know where this is going

Though I do wish I could do this

When it wasn’t snowing

Your hair in your face

The wind furiously blowing

And don’t look at me like that

With tears in your eyes

We already know

The difficulty of goodbyes

Maybe we can just realize

That it’s just

See you soon

And who cares if we’ll only be lying 

Might save some of the tears

The nonstop crying

Don’t act like I won’t miss you too

I’ll deny it

But without you

Without you, I’ll be like

A spoon

Without

A

Fork

A 

Me

Without

Her

Dork

Don’t point out the colors of the sky

Don’t use your arms to reach up so high

Don’t ask silly questions like

Why

I need you to look straight at me

You know what they say, eye contact is key

It’s harder for me than it is for you

You’re putting the blame on me, 

though it might be sorta true

Stop saying you have somewhere to go

Stop saying you’re cold and tired-

I know

Yes, I have everything

No, I didn’t forget

Yes I still feel the cold

I know I’m caked with sweat

You’re making this harder than it needs to be

With all your questions, 

You won’t be able to change anything

With your suggestions

You’re hungry?

Then fine

Leave

Maybe this is a sign

Just don’t expect me to call

Or forget this at all

I know this is hard

But for once, I’m letting down my guard

Yes, I see the birds too

Thankfully my eyes work

Or else I wouldn’t have a clue

That you were hiding your face 

In your hands

Having some sort of race

With time

Time

We don’t have a lot of time

I know you want me to stay

But not like this

The watch on my hand is ever ticking

The little non-stop clicking, clicking

Don’t remind me that you gave me the watch

Don’t tell me about the store it’s from

Your long hair is blowing everywhere

And, people are starting to stare

If you don’t let me say this now

I’m afraid it’ll go unsaid

I’ll think about it all night in bed

Focusing in on this feeling of dread

You’ll be fine without me, 

This I know

But me without you...

Well maybe I’ll grow

I don’t care if my shoe is untied

Stay level with me, 

Eye to eye

Stop staring at my hands on your shoulders

They went there on their own

Stop staring at the watch

And down at your phone

Please just stop

And let me start

There's lots to say

All the secrets in my heart

Mainly three words

Eight letters

And mainly one

That's seven on its own

The details aren’t important

None of that fluff

Don’t tell me to be gentle,

I’m not being rough

Just promise me this-

You won’t hate me for leaving

I won’t blame you for grieving

Just don’t think of me badly

Try to limit the sadly

Remember the gladly

Good times we had

Over our bedtimes

Oh, the secrets we shared

Don’t forget those

But maybe you should

You can’t be plagued by my memory

Everything we have is a gift to me

I can’t think of a time you didn’t mean something to me

Leaving you wasn’t part of the plan

Onto a train to see you never again

Visiting doesn’t really seem possible

Even though I’d obviously for you do the impossible

You are everything to me

Only you can see

Underneath my mask of reality

If I don’t go now, the train will go without me

I’m afraid I’ll have to leave without saying anything more

“HOLD THE DOOR!”
