To Be Honest

To be honest the only
reason I just walk by
is because conversation
will remind me of how
we once talked, and I'm
running this time. But
I'm sure you know that.
The only reason I ask
you to not touch me,
is because it reminds
me of how you use to
touch me and how I would
melt in your hands.
I'm sorry I disagree
with every word you
speak in class, but I
have a hard time believing
anything you say. I
know you know all this,
and it shames me to think
that you're still reading
my poems, scares me a little
too.  It sends shivers
down my spine to think
that I'm still letting you
know me. I guess it's not
that hard though. I told
you many times. You know
me and to be honset I wish
you didn't.
