i was so sure that i was over him,
he doesn’t even cross my mind these days.
our memories have faded away,
just like my infatuation for him.
that is, until the day i got my heart broken.

it took me ages to heal,
and many more to conceal my emotions,
and just when i thought i was alright,
he appears again out of the blue.
and sure as hell, i didn’t know what happened,
i just didn’t have a clue.

when i saw him, i was dumbstruck,
i couldn’t move,
what more talk.
i paced as steadily as i could,
stuttering as i chatted
with another friend
near him.

then he sat across me,
i turn away,
shy
embarassed
desperate,
what else could i do?

when i look away, i can feel his eyes on me
burning my skin
heartbeat going fast
too fast.

when i look back, he looks another direction
in an instant
faster than a bullet
a skillful pretender.

but.
when we accidentally lock eyes, however,
we quickly pretend to not notice
each other.

but only God knows how nervous i was then
nobody else will know how intense it was
nor, how overwhelming.

it was strange
surprising
comical
and quite tragic.
