you are speaking to me of that much i’m aware but behind your words i feel like there’s more: as if you were addressing me to communicate something other than what you are telling me. i respond mindlessly with words that mean nothing mirroring your language, and hoping deep inside you realise I’m addressing youContinue reading “conversations.”
