my most recent memory of you
is you playing a mime
acting like a mime
a mime who doesn’t move even once
a mime who had his hands at his side
and i was a dancing fool
dancing ’round you while you stood completely still ’round me
you stood still
i danced
i smiled
you frowned
i wanted to say
stop playing games
mind me, respond to me, mime
i am here and i love you
and you just wont move
instead of saying those things
i danced away
and as soon as i left
you moved
