tutor me how to not flinch every time i think of you.

or don't, because every time i flinch i'm reminded that i'm still alive.

better yet tutor me on how to slow down the hours that i get to spend by your side.

and on how to speed up the seconds, hours, months, and years that we are forced to spend apart.

or on how to make the miles that separate us seem less infinite.

in exchange i can tutor you how to not flinch when i throw my heart at you in hopes that you'd catch it next time.
