She
yells because she cares; she cries because she’s
frustrated. She randomly smiles because
she’s thinking of you, even if you’re already
there. She scrunches her face
because she’s about to explode, not because she’s
constipated. She hits you because she
wants to touch you. She stares at you because
she’s infatuated. She calls every half hour
because she misses you. She lectures you because
she’s boss, not mom. She kisses you because she
just wants to. She asks you questions
because she’s curious, not to be annoying. She wants to know where you are to
be with you. She calls just to hear your
voice. She walks beside you to hold
your hand. She sits close to you to lean
on your shoulder. She stands in front of you
because she wants a hug.
