Not Even a Second Glance

A verse for someone from a long time ago

I have been trying to forget you

Trying to go on with my life without your presence

I have been surviving

Albeit only subsisting

But I think I am mostly fine

Until I saw you again one day

Walking into the very room I am in

I looked at you not knowing what to do

A part of me hoped even for mere acknowledgement

You looked at me

Stared into my eyes

Time froze

I may seem emotionless outside

But the turmoil is pounding in my head

You looked away

Without a smile

Not even a second glance

And the sorrow deadened my heart

I am in stupor.
