this is a good story to tell the grandkids poem. this is a disguised look of shock and guilt poem. this is a sometimes wishing you didn’t notice poem. this is a sometimes wishing you didn’t know them as well as you do poem. this is a long conversation but very short answers poem. this is an apology that almost works but doesn’t quite poem. this is a give me a week poem. this is a quiet tears poem, because you’re not melodramatic poem. this is a can we talk please can we talk poem. this is a seeing him with your friends and not being able to walk over and sitting in the music rooms by yourself poem. this is a four texts in a row poem. this is a reply poem. this is a do you want to get lunch tomorrow poem. this is a sadder hours picking out what to wear but caring just as much poem. this is a two hours of awkward talking and fleeting eye contact and good toasties poem. this is a trying poem. this is a love poem.
