It wasn't about him, It was about me being him. 

Its confusing,

How you say you love me 

And then, your hand in that picture.

Holding him.

 

Seemed like a lot of unspoken words, 

Speaking out through actions.

 

I think it's pretty normal to hug and to kiss, 

But I don't think I agree with this. 

 

I like the way you choose your spot.

It wasn't planned. 

Of course not.

 

Do you have nothing to say because that is he and this is me?
