No
Sometimes he looks like yes
He looks like running up and jumping
Wrapping legs around torso
Arms around neck
He looks like grasping hands so tightly
Never letting go
He looks like phone calls past midnight
Saying nothing
Just breathing
He looks like kisses stolen everywhere
At stoplights
In movie theaters
During commercials on the couch
But sometimes he looks like no
He looks like turning my back and walking away
He looks like missed calls
Maybe purposely ignored calls
And undisturbed voicemails
Dating back from October
He looks like heavy silence
Cold silence
He looks like feet between us
That feels like miles
Sometimes I love him
But sometimes he looks like no
