I went protesting last week

I didn't intend to but I met someone 

His laugh had me imagining his smile behind the bandana 

Eyes that twinkled as bright as his nose stud

He came alone and it made me envious of his courage 

After hours of walking the streets together, we exchanged numbers 

His responses come within seconds of me pressing send 

Now that brings me to you 

You take forever to text back unless it's past midnight 

You protest all the time but never ask me to join 

Don't get me started about how many tears I've shed over you

So why am I comparing you two 

I dissect his every move attempting to find flaws 

Trying to justify why I still miss you
