It's been a long time since I felt like this.

It's all small kicks of my heartbeat
and subtle smiles when no one's looking.
I'm checking my phone messages
more times than any girl should,
but you're not letting me down.

You remind me of a time when things were easy
before I memorized what sadness felt like
and stopped feeling alive.

And for the first time, I don't feel broken
in a way that can't be fixed.
I don't feel like I was built in a way
that doesn't fit.
or i'll end up falling harder than i meant to.

just something silly and small.
