Subtle

um um um um um um um um what

We were sorted based off of what we read

Of course you read the same thing I did

Because that's just life

You're one of the few people I would talk to in our group

I'm about to start talking

And you start the conversation

Excuse me-

Wha-

How-

Who-

Why

You start talking to anyone listening

I'll always listen to you

You say something about what he just did

I reply with a joke

All of my social abilities revolve around humor

You laugh

I've never heard that laugh from you

I've heard you laugh with your friends

It's loud

But still amazing

This laugh

It was subtle

But it lasted a while

Like you meant it

You look up halfway

To see me laughing with you

The subtle eye contact

Made me so happy

I haven't felt this happy in so long

Because you held my gaze

For a little longer than normal

They wave their hands between our eyes

Hello?

Snap back to reality

Oh there goes gravity

We look at them for a second and laugh

But we end up making more eye contact

As I lean against the wall behind me

Your eyes go wide

I just leaned against the chalkboard

I erased some of the writing

I start to laugh

And you laugh the new laugh

That I'd never heard until today

That I've only heard you use

With me

It's like that beautiful laugh was assigned to me

And I couldn't ask for a better one

It's sweet

Kind of loud

Kind of quiet

And subtle

yeah okay
