Casually dressed and deep in conversation.

If you think all you need is beauty sleep I hope you're planning on going into a coma. dm.

"Fade in. Start the scene. Enter beautiful girl. But this time it's different; not like the song. Very much alive with plans to stay that way. She glows in the corner like a lighthouse beacon(but who is it shining for?) She's reaching for something, but I focus on her hair that will graze over her shoulder when she turns to look at me. Feigned surprise. Surprised smile. Smiling eyes. I can't think of anything more clever to say than "hey." Small talk. Avoiding attention. Brief interruption. Casual jokes about a conversation we had the night before. Just talking is a risk we can't afford. Lost, trying not to be boring, I have to go. One last look-- for now. Not worried, I know you'll grace my vision again soon. Exit unworthy man."

It would be nice to change some things.
Like having people take their own advice before bestowing it upon others.
Or the night staying as warm as the day.
People saying what they're really thinking would be too much to ask.

I feel like I live outside the bubble of normalcy that everyone else inhabits.
I went to buy the book with all the answers to peoples' subtlety.. but they were sold out.
I can think of someone who could teach the class, but he's busy arguing with his girlfriend while explaining what everyone else is doing wrong in relationships.

Throw me a pity party, but I'll be late.
I'll be waiting for someone to call me back.

I think I'd be easy to forget about if you left.
I'm a life written in dry-erase marker.
One quick swipe across the board and I'm gone.

Check mate.
