you disappear for a week and come back
expecting,
well. I'm not sure where to begin.
You wait around my work, a mirror reflection
of me, sitting at home wondering why four.five.six hours has gone by. So why do I find myself
nervous,
hesitant,
excited,
hoping you won't leave.

So when I clock out an hour early and sit across from you, a newspaper laid before your eyes,
and barely speak a word, you have absolutely
no problem.
The smile on your face speaks enough for both of us, because, after all,
actions do speak louder than words.

You've spent enough time around me to know when something is wrong but not enough time to
seep into my bones
and understand
that in a few days time I will be with (him) and I don't know if I can live with our kisses,
your touch against my skin.
I'm trying so hard not to love (him), thrusting myself against every guy that walks through the door,
hoping one will make a commitment.
And you were the only one who gave their word.

But actions do speak louder than words.
