Small Things

I love the way you don’t cling to me,

I love your uncertain feelings for me,

I love the way you don’t know,

I love the way that you say

that you’ve got to get going back to your life,

your way of going, no questions asked.

I love your exasperation at my decadence,

the way you don’t want to defend me,

you don’t want to tidy my life.

I love you for not depending on me,

I adore you for not adoring me.
