The Wonders Of Marie

Notice

I've noticed.
I've noticed the way you laugh and your eyes sparkle with so much glow.

I've also noticed the way your smile fades and you stare off in the distance.

I've noticed how beautifully imperfect you are, but I've also noticed the way grab your hands and tap them on the table.

Waiting for something, is that so?

Ive noticed how great you are at joining the conversations, after your trip into your own world in your head.

I've also noticed the way your voice became soft and the way you had dark circles under your eyes.

I noticed how tired you became, and how slowly you didn't want to talk again.

And I was the only person that noticed.
