Don't:
Say anything
that could give him any idea
of what your eyes really mean.
...
Losing Sleep
Don't:
Say anything
that could give him any idea
of what your eyes really mean.
Don't:
Say anything
he can pocket and take out again later
for further amusement.
Don't:
Let his voice deter you -
say nothing
about how you only stare this way at him.
Never:
However lonely,
sad,
upset
or angry you are or may feel,
say: Stay.
He might burst this swelling balloon.
He might go,
saying 'No.'
Do you misinterpret his tone?
Burn Harder Heart.
Slow Down Head.
Don't Wince.
Don't Turn Away.
