You Say

You look at me
And you look away
You look into my eyes
And you just smile
Who are you
To smile that way
You say you know me
You say you understand
You are so sure you have me figured
Inside out
when there’s so much
you just don’t know
from the way you get through
I’m forced to believe
You tell me you can’t stand my tears
Still
Over and over
You make me cry

Like Them

I listened to their conversation and for a moment, I just wished I was that naïve. I wished I could say silly things like that. I wish I was able to say whatever’s on my mind without thinking, without being scared of judgment. I wished I knew as little as them. I wished I barely understood. I wished my world was as simple as they saw it, and my most important concern was which ice-cream flavor to choose. I wish I was so carefree that innocence was all what could be seen in my eyes and it was all that was heard in my laughter. Just like them. I wish I was able to run until I was breathless. I wish I was able to play till I had dirt in my hair and I didn’t care. like them.
