so this is what it feels like
to not know how to feel

this is what it feels like
to know exactly who i am
but not how to act it

it seems
i'm the best version of myself
when i'm near you
and that's not even saying much
i still play with my food
and snort when i laugh
i still pace when i have nothing to do
and read when people are talking to me

but

you make these seem like miracles
you make me seem better
you make me like myself
through your beautiful eyes
you make me see who i could be
and who i am
all because you took the time
too see it yourself

"So this is what it feels like
to not know how to feel." Perfect
Mmm. Thoughtful, and wonderful imagery/examples. I snort when I laugh too. I'm glad you found someone to appreciate you for who you are, and someone to make you feel that wonderfully confused.

I would say that you are one of the clearest purist writers of words that i have read

You flow with a simplicity that understates your talent

You remind of someone who told me, break something from time to time otherwise they feel what you are achieving is 'too easy'

My second comment on this but one I wanted to make
