I walked home with you today
You told me about your day
And I smiled.
You still can’t stand people
And make fun of me for
Contradicting you.
I still can’t get over the things
You embody. Or, if we’re at the topic,
Your body—
Being so close to me, hands
Brushing against each other
I can’t help but blush.
No matter how hard I try,
My stomach is a terrarium of butterflies
But you just smile.
I wish you’d ignore me, keep more
More and more distance from me
Because I’m falling for you.
I should know better than to offer you
My heart on a silver plate, still
I say, “Please continue.”
