I feel like this needed a title to fit in with all the rest

You asked me how I knew.
I said that's a complicated answer.
but the short answer is:
I can just read people well.

Here's the long version:
I could tell in the way your smile faltered when no one was looking
I saw it in the way you walked down the hallway trying to face the troubles of the day.
I saw it in effort it took to talk to me.
I saw it your eyes, and the sadness there.
I knew it in the way that you ached, but pretended not to.
I knew it in how you carried yourself around
I knew it in how you tried to hide it
I saw it in your hands with your handwriting
I saw it in the way you gave someone a compliment
I don't know how to describe it
I just knew.

I knew, because I can read people.
I know you were trying to hide it from the world but that just made it more obvious to me.

  1. I really liked this post. Sometimes that's all people want, is to be read.

  2. ^Agreed. I like how you summed it up into a short answer first before the long answer, and then said the short answer again at the end.

    I just really liked this post.

  3. Holly hell this is me. As much a I hate this I can do this exact thing. I hate it though. That is why I wrote a post about it. I did it today. She was hiding something. Most of the time it is the people I don't know yet this time I knew them I helped them. I could tell you the situation yet I have written to much.

    1. As in freaking crap I love this and I should really think twice before posting something so it isn't taken the wrong way.
