Lessons Learned

You thank me for thinking you are beautiful and I thank God for every time you get too close. And even though I know you're not mine, I mostly misinterpret mundane signals and am just glad that we have the time to sit around and learn each others lessons because I don't have much to teach but I have always loved to listen.

And I suspect you don't feel the same and a sickening feeling slips into my brain, knowing that I was shaken to my core and you simply feel so alone that maybe I am just better than nothing, or at best, better than sleeping alone.
