I’m not good with people.
I don’t talk a lot,
I don’t smile a lot.
I hate shallow conversations
and
unfunny jokes,
I always distance myself from the crowd
whenever I can.
I just like it that way.
But even so, my heart longs for the love
that would talk to my soul
when my lips can’t find the words to utter.
I long for someone
who understands my silence
but knows when it’s too much,
someone willing to make funny faces just so I can crack a smile.
I want someone to break
the walls I had to put up some time ago.
And
while I know that
this might be the most selfish thing to ask for,
I want that kind of love to save me.
