I don't know what to say


Hands in pockets legs crossed hands out of pockets arms across the chest disapproving sigh No words. "So yeah, I just wanted to tell you I'm dating this girl I really like..." Breath weighted eyes closed hands in lap mouth forced upwards "I don't know what to say." ----------- Whose perspective is this anyway? I don't know. Should it be his? Cause I can't fucking do it. Should it be mine? Cause I remember the way I called him out and rambled on about how I expected him to react. I remember the relief when he didn't immediately condemn me. But. I don't want this story to be about me. It should be about him. The question is: is it about how wrong he is or how right it feels to him? --------- I do love her, but I don't know what to say or what to do...
