encounter
a voice calls your name
suddenly my heart drops
and time seems to freeze for a instant
but you keep walking toward me
curious,
confident, (ive always liked that about you...)
and fall lightly into the thick, soft grass
she asks if you're still going out with whats-her-name
she doesnt even live nearby
the answer comes after a pause
i tremble in that pause
your expression changes,
a curtain has fallen over it
"yes..."
bluntly given, in confusion of the receiver
me
he clears his throat
"any reason"
his curiosity has awakened
my friend eyes me in a very un-subtle way
im sure he noticed
no
comes the answer
i feel as though i am a spectator in a game
one that i should be in
he leaves
and i try
to let him go
