So when I caught you looking at me that way,
I wasn't expecting it.
That's why I did what I did.

Your mouth was forming letters in a different tempo
and I couldn't look away,
I just kept toppling your speech
with swells in my heartbeat,
pitiful syllables,
whimpers,
sighs.

Everything I ought to tell you is a secret.
