Out Of Love

I’m shaking because I just saw you

I was walking around with the hope that I would

maybe we would cross paths,

And it happened

Sitting in the shadows near a low-hanging tree on campus

Minding your business but all alone

In a matter of seconds, my heart picks up speed

I’m deadly aware of all the people around me,

But I decide to say something

You don’t even look at me,

I get a small wave and a nod instead

It was over but minutes later, it was still on my mind

Sitting alone now, as you were,

I question,

What else can I say?

How do I make this okay?

Yet all I can do now is look for you there

On the bench in the shade
