hush

i think about you often 

i think about your eyes 

unimpressed or content

understanding,

trying to understand 

slow to speak 

easy to follow 

but it takes patience

to hear your thoughts unfold 

slow moving 

moving forward

your emotions 

are quite overwhelming 

your thoughts 

are always delving 

deeper than i do 

deeper than 

i’d like to think 

you’re nervous 

but you hide it well 

you play it cool 

hoping, and

asking 

and ready for the ride

for someone who feels 

so unsteady, 

you are pretty steady 

you look back, 

you look forward

you soak it in

you look inward 

if you’re asking me

maybe too much

you look into me, 

and it makes me hush
