I knew you were different when you told me how you couldn’t fall asleep after I left .

You still tasted me on your lips

Smelled me on your sheets

Kept me in your thoughts

And no amount of laundry soap or toothpaste or sheep counting could erase it.

I knew then and I know now.

-realizing you’re falling in love

How can I tell you I don’t think I felt anything other than numb?
