13 by Riley H

Why do you sit alone

And why do I love it so much?

It may be unintentional

Or purposefully unconventional

But every day it’s just such

A fascinating topic to discuss

Only from a distance, of course

I sit across the way

Admiring day by day

Your silence only does enforce

The idea that we

Could not be any more different

I’m glaringly bright

You hold secrets like the night

And my heart can’t prepare for the imminent

Fall because you see

I’m a tale as old as time

Opposites attract

That tradition is still intact

This is nothing if not a prime

Example of how curiosity

Is the ultimate wingman

My heart solely knows

How deep my love goes

And I completely trust their plan
