Sweet nothings

By: JoJo Ball

Have you heard them? Does anyone know what they are?

Shallow sayings of love and infatuation.

They mean nothing unless they are interpreted

with the meaning they were intended to have.

They are coded messages left in public.

Most people see it and dismiss it.

They think literally and only see odd words,

then one person stops to see the scribbles

and they think it has some purpose,

that the scribbles were left there for a reason.

This one person can’t possibly understand

but they pretend to nevertheless.

This person is the kind editor that

sees meaning when there is none there at all.

They are the friend that thinks you are perfect.

They imply your personality to

each of the coded lines even when they’re not meant to.

Even though it’s not written they know,

They know how you feel even when you don’t.
