hiding unfriendly knows
But unfriendly is usually one of those things you pick up on right away. You know, like B.O. There's no hiding it if it's there.
assuming stranger odd
Odd how it was so easy for a stranger to assume such familiarity. Especially when those who were supposed to know you best often didn't, not at all.
During this time we've been apart, it's you I've thought of when I'm at my weakest, and you who have pulled me through.

crazy talking jumping
Everyone laughed, and just like that, the conversation shifted, jumping to another topic. It was fast and furious, the talking, the emotions, the back-and-forth and forth-and-back. I realized that if I tried to focus on it too much, I got overwhelmed. So I just decided to relax into it, bumpy and crazy as it might be, and try for once to just go along for the ride.
