A simple night of dinning
My eyes catch a movement as they sometimes do
A figure walks across the room
A memory pops into my mind
Same build, same hair, same style of clothes
A lump forms in my throat
My pulse begins to increase
Should I look and wait for you to turn around or pretend I don’t see you
I glance again but still can only see you with your back to me
I turn away should I look again and make eye contact
My breathing becomes more faint as though I can’t get air
I look again but still you are looking away
I think maybe you saw me and are feeling the same way, afraid to look me in the eye
I see you turn out of the corner of my eye
I wait for you to walk closer
I look your way but then it’s not you
Do I feel relief or disappointment
The memories of you haunt me but sometimes I wish that person was you
