____________________________

wasn't the easiest

when i first admitted

i liked you.

had to make sure

you might like me back.

couldn't.

were sweet, you were so kind towards me.

never the closest.

had those thick walls

around yourself

i'm so willing to break.

matter how hard i try

even though you were always standing there

i could just look at you.

could just speak with you about the weather, subjects and things.

about love.

knew i cannot see colors

but you never asked why.

never asked how it felt like.

never asked if i was okay.

i waited,

still do i,

to open up to me someday.

day that you'll say

"i like you, too caleb."

why

i even smiled after you stormed out

because of my confession.
