I wonder what you tell strangers about me because youre not telling me much and Im not telling you much either but I tell strangers about you.

Do you tell them shes the one?Do you tell them about when you knew?Do you tell them how this could be it?Do you tell them that youre falling in love?
Or do you tell them that shes just a friend?Just another girl youre talking to.Its nothing serious.Its just another story in your book.
Or do you stay up late writing my story?Thinking about the details of every interaction,dissecting every word and every sentence.Creating a masterpiece inspired by our time together.
Or do you skip that chapter?Its not that one you care about.Its not the one you want to read.Its not theturning pointin your story.
I wonder if you tell them youre not sure,that you still need more time.You dont know if its worth the initiative,you think you could find someone better.
Or do you tell them how you cant stopthinking about me?That you wont be able to forgive yourselfif you ever let me go.
I wonder what you tell strangers about mebecause youre not telling me muchand Im not telling you much eitherbut I tell strangers about you.
I tell them about what you do to my heart.I tell them about the moment I knew.I tell them how much I miss you.I tell them everything I cant tell you.
