Untitled 0203
The words I played in my mind like music.
I wanted to hear all the melodies they could sing.
I played your words like music in my head,
And the vague ones sounded more beautiful.
I've had them bouncing off the corners of my mind for the past day.
I don't want to have any thoughts of you saying words that might hurt me.
I just figured you always meant to say something better.
Then you smile, and that confirms it.
I play your words in my mind, searching for the melody that suits your smile.
