To: The Boy Who Still Laughs With Me

i saw you


you'll probably never admit it


but i saw you


reading a book

and writing

in the margins


i stared at you

a little too long


i take it back


i wish i didnt see you

but i did


and now

i can't help but think

you share an appreciation

for books

the same way

i do


it was a wonderful

feeling

that lasted two

seconds


because i remembered

im supposed to

hate you


but i don't

i can't


and yet

i have to ask


what did you think

of the chapter you read?


i've never read the book

but i just wanna know

did you relate to it

at all?


i saw you

reading a book

not just any book

a romance book


as far as i know

you typically

avoid

romance


are you reading about

love

because of 

her?


or because

im

so

inspiring?


does she know that?

did she see you?
