maybe I should let them go"
you know, just like that night I'd
close my eyes,
pretend I'm fast asleep,
that I don't see you everywhere I look
regulate my pulse and calm my heartbeat,
pretend I don't feel your hand in my palm,
that I didn't hear my heart beating in my ears
ignore you when you say my name,
pretend it doesn't sound special escaping from your lips
that it doesn't send shivers down my spine
don't move or flinch,
pretend that I'm hyperaware of your existence
or maybe it's because
if I did you would too,
maybe I wanted you to stay
even if it's just for a moment or two
