things you probably didnt know

it was amusing yet frustrating
to find someone’s behavior mirroring your own
catching you unaware each time
unable to predict its changing courses.

it probably wasnt done on purpose
but a few characteristics here and there
seemed too coincidental to be true,
as though fate intervened itself secretly.

to have someone wanting your time and attention yet drawing the line as to not be overwhelming just so you’d have yours too.
to have someone pull you in for a hug that said it’d be longer in every touch, but withdrew politely as though sensing the very hesitance.
to have conversation flowing ever so effortlessly, without an ounce of awkwardness settling in was astonishing.
to be teasing each other ever so comfortably, unafraid of ugly big guffaws.
one of the biggest shock factor was the lack of “vibes”, not once did it feel uncomfortable, nor did it ever cross the mind of a possible ulterior hidden motive.
to have someone who held religious beliefs that were very admirable, made you more convicted in your own.
someone whose family ties were close-knit and strong, resembling your very own.
to have someone who looked forward to spending time together, and you spending every waking moment nervous and grinning up to the said moment.
someone who took pains to assure your safety in the subtlest of ways.
to be asking of serious matters in the subtle joking manner, in disbelief that it reflected your own style of asking questions.
to be ever so careful with the way you sat and spoke for the accidental graze of skin would send jolts up your spine.
the ever subtle resting of hand on your shoulders, wishing for more in the form of walking hand in hand.

there are things you probably should know
things that would ring the alarm bells and make you go uh-oh
and a huge big chance of you walking away and saying no
although being together feels natural and rightly so
would it be okay if to tell things to you slow?
just so to cherish a little time before you decide to go.

i wonder if you’d see past this girl’s damaged past,
for a guy always wants a brand new car,
never a beat up old junkie,
think you could be the exception,
and give this junk car a chance?
to be a brand new car in your loving hands?
for honest to God, she’s falling for you. hard.
