The Way You Are

The way you always
   Hold me tight
Like you're afraid to let me go
   Into the dark night

The way you put your class ring
   On my finger when we part
Like it will keep me safe
   And away from deadly darts

The way your hands move constantly
   Whenever we kiss
Like you're checking if I'm ok
   Incase the warning signs you've missed

The way you hold my hand
   And drawl circles on my palm
Like it's the only way
   To keep your heart calm

Whenever we're done
You make me want to say
I love you too
But then I remember yesterday

The way you always
   Flirt with my friends
Like you're single
   And would rather be with them

The way you react to things
   Like I did something wrong
To make me say sorry
   Before time goes by for too long

The way you think you know me
   Better than I
Like you can do anything
   And I won't say goodbye

The way you tell me
   That I can F*** off
When I refuse to talk back
   Because you told me not even to cough

You do it all the time
And I almost say goodbye
But then I remember last night
And in that moment, I lie.
