‘You never understand’ she said

And turned around, shaking her head

‘I don’t know what to say

I feel like you’re not yourself today’

‘Myself? I have to be calm and fun

Or else you get scared and run?’

He shyly touches her shoulder

‘I know you think I’m being colder

But you’re sometimes everything I say,

You just take it the wrong way.’

She hid her face behind her hands

And slid further into the quick sands.
