this time when I saw you

we were on the same sidewalk

heading in different directions

so there was no way to avoid each other

I might of sped up when I saw you

"Alyssa"

your head snapped up from your phone

who were you texting?

"uh, hi"

you mumbled

I'm sure my smile was blinding

and most definitely creepy

but I didn't care

I hugged you

for a little too long

"where are you headed?"

you pointed a polished finger to the 'Coffee House'

I was confused

"but you hate coffee"

"I'm meeting someone"

my smile faltered

only to be replaced by a sad one

"o-okay"

you walked around me

and into the shop
