Dis-'tressed'

I love that I can hide behind my sideswept bangs
because that means you can't see the way I look at you.
Twisting hair can be therapeutic
Especially when I need to distract myself.
Taking focus off you proves inevitably impossible,
and I find myself staring at you through the chocolate strands
Wrapped around my fingers
With each pull I immerse myself in emotions,
Both real and fantastic.
I have too much imagination.
Even with the music you're playing right now...
I can't help but hope that I'm the girl you're singing about
I put my sunglasses on.
Who cares if I'm inside.
I have to shield myself from you, somehow.
