Weary from Weary by Internet Dating

What causes this stagnancy? A lack of air left for me to breathe.
I found comfort in ambiguity while you settle for bad company.
What if you lose interest or catch me counting down the minutes?
I flipped compliments to avoid arguments and discussions I doubt we’d finish.
Conversations we couldn’t have in English.
Impressions revisited often times resurface with new purpose.

Talk with your eyes like there’s nothing to be said.
Maybe it’s all in my head, this is how you empathize.
Is this how I say goodbye? Constantly checking the time.
There’s things I’d rather say instead, things I need to vocalize

I think I’ve been thinking way more than living lately
It’s affecting how I’m connecting with people close to me.
Took years to change my attitude, took tears to change my point of view.
Took from me a willingness to pursue friends that speak in half truths.

I tend to see my tendencies as excused to be elusive
Practicing transparency through keeping my emotions lucid.
