Has nobody asked you how you are?
I kinda wish people would just randomly ask you if you were doing alright. You wouldn't have to look off, cos God knows some of us can hide it (apparently), cos sometimes... sometimes we just need someone to genuinely give a damn, you know? There's generally a problem if you refresh your email page twenty times in five minutes to catch one person's reply cos you know you'll get nothing from anyone else, and that's just sad. So what if I hardly know him? So what if I'm still nervous as hell even though I've convinced myself I'm not as bad as I was? I still want to clamber out on that branch, cos I swear to you I know it won't snap this time, and the bird won't fly away cos I know he's as intrigued as me, I just know it. I'm not making this up, either. I've watched people long enough to grasp at least a little bit of what they're implying without speaking, and he's trying to say just as much as I am without opening his mouth, so save your consolation, please. I've waited long enough that I at least deserve a taster, not just another round of windowshopping.
I wouldn't have made it very far
So we'd make a good team right away
