Say what you want.

That I’m naive, inexperienced, green on the edges,

Fine.

Maybe I listen to my heart way more than I should,

That I falter in logical judgements,

Even my gut is confused on how to react.

But the mixed signals you give

Are enough to deter anyone.

Your cold goodbyes,

Always sitting away from people,

Are enough to negate your smiles.

You don’t have to do more than what you do,

But it’s enough to tell me that you are

Uninterested.

And so I shall do the same.

Put on that stony visage,

Remind myself I have a life without you.

I will prevail,

I will be strong,

As long as that irresistible laugh of yours does not ring the air.
