"Are you lovesick?"
"No."

It was only a half lie then,
The aftertaste of daydreams and old, familiar feelings

"Are you lovesick?"
"No."

It's no lie.
Not an alibi to comfort both of our fears.

I wonder,
How many days will it take me to realize
How many months I will block
the taste of love in my mouth, in my fingers, in my eyes

I never knew the "safety" of my 13-year-old heart
How it keeps me "protected" from the 17-year-old part

I wonder,
Why I put restlessness in the place of a full heart.
Everyone can love but me.
Every one savors its warmsoftsilkiness in their mouth
But me.

How the 13-year-old Heart longs to have the love,
of the 17-year-old part.
How simple she is.
Or is the latter too complicated?
Too afraid of the dry mouth, shell-person feeling that comes
with the end. So she awaits it eagerly,
knowing then it will be simple again

I am not familiar with myself.
With the ins and outs of my subconscious,
Or the fears that roots me
The simplicity and complexity of both parts,
keep me in one place.

13-year-old heart, 17-year-old part

Very insightful. Very sad. Very close to home. "The aftertaste of daydreams and old, familiar feelings..." -very nice. I'm not lovesick either...I'm not very familiar with myself either...I'm not very capable of love either, or so it seems...thank you.
