I'm not sure

How relationships work

Or what to say

When you tell me I'm pretty

 

I know nothing

Of the cues,

Hints, and meanings

You put behind your words

 

I don't know how to tell

If the look you give me

Is of disinterest 

Or shyness

 

I have no idea

How anything works

Or how anything stays

So, why don't you teach me?
