I Don't Know

I Don't Know

A Poem by not_today
"

yeah okay

"
I wish you a happy birthday
You say thank you
And put on the fakest smile I've seen in my whole life
But later
I was standing in that spot
That one spot
The one I'm always at
I'm always there
You slow down
To the point where you almost stop
Not breaking eye contact
But then you leave again
Why did you slow down?
I know that you don't think of me
The way I think of you
But sometimes
You make it seem like you do
And it confuses me
Do you?
I know you don't
People say you do
But if you do
Talk to me
Say something
I want things to work out
And if you want to stay friends with your friends
Then I know it won't
They don't like it
They're against it
They say if you like someone from certain groups of friends
You'll be kicked out of the group
Those aren't friends
And you deserve so much better than that
Everyone does
But they're just like that

I heard you today
She asked you
Do you like girls?
You reply
No
Either you lied to them
Or multiple people are lying to me
And my face went red
The person sitting across from me told me so
And I proceeded to hide my face in my sweatshirt
I almost didn't hear your reply to her
Because I was scared of what you'd tell her
I was pretty sure you'd say no
But if you said yes
She would disown you
She'd stop talking to you
And you deserve better

So I deleted a bunch of stuff because I've kind of cut someone out of my life that most of them were about

it took me a while to read it and understand it , hope I did but I really love the flow of your words and how you describe the little moments , I felt lot of confusion which you described pretty well
