"My Bad"

You were in such a hurry 

you didn't notice me walking 

I keep my head down when I see you 

so I didn't notice you almost crashing into me 

you said "my bad" 

and those two words are more 

than we've spoken in months 

 

and though my brain told me no 

my heart fluttered still 

and though my brain tells me no 

I still hold my breath when you speak 

and though my brain told me no 

my heart skipped a beat 

and though you told me no 

you're in my mind on repeat 

everyone seems to know... 

but my heart just won't get the memo
