i know
i know because
i see the difference in your smile
when you look at her
and when you look at me
i see the way
you long to hold her hand
the way you stare at it
the way your fingers reach out
but pull back
and the way
you reluctantly hold mine
i know you only kissed me back
because you were scared i would
slip through your fingers
just like everyone else
but it's okay
i'll still be here
so go after her
hold her hand
let go of mine
