The Meaning

smile
An energy I’m drawn towards: open, interested, engaged.

the shirt
Chosen because I like it but someone else assumes it says something about me.

not knowing
I don’t perform. Instead I’m caught not knowing.

blushing
The pleasure of attention, and the vulnerability of receiving it.

What Lingers?…

What if not knowing leaves space for possibility?
