HIM VS. YOU.

today there was a moment
when i did not think of you,
for the first time in a while
i thought we might be through.

another took my hand this morning
while we sat in class.
i grinned at him and him at me
and a mere second did pass
when of you i wasn't thinking,
for you completely left my mind,
but a tiny second later
thoughts of you made me blind.

so now i sit here debating
the two ways this could go
i could take his hand tomorrow
or wait for you to know.

i knew all along
that thing you can't decide,
so i can't sit here waiting
for you to make up your mind.
do you really want me?
or will you leave me behind?
i'm sure of what i wanted
but none of that survived.

so maybe i'll just let him,
the next time that he tries,
for with a kiss he just might fix
all of your silly lies.
