Being Alive

Breathing, your lungs expanding and collapsing. Heart pumping, blood circulating through your veins. Palms sweating as your voice nervously cracks under the pressure. Don't ruin this.. Whatever you do don't mess this one up. there he is, walking down the hall. You know he'll say hi to you because that's what he does. He's friendly like that. Almost dreamy in a way. You long for him. Your bones ache to see him. He's the only reason you wake up and go to work every morning. Just for that one hello. You wanna say more. You want to see him outside of work. You long for that first date with him. But you don't say anything. You say hello and go on with your day because that is what humans do and you are just trying to belong.
