When Acquaintances Reunite (08/07/2019)
It’s way past my bedtime
So tell me why I’m still upÂ
Thinking about the way your handÂ
Just lightly brushed against mineÂ
And how you stopped your conversationÂ
To give me your full attentionÂ
At the moment I thought nothing of itÂ
It was perfectly normal behaviorÂ
Just two acquaintances meeting up againÂ
But then you leaned in really closeÂ
To avoid the crowd I assumedÂ
So I shuffled to give you spaceÂ
But in a matter of time I wasn’t so sureÂ
What’s a girl to believe when you look at her like that?Â
I had just finished convincing myselfÂ
You were just a victim of poor lightingÂ
And I of wishful thinkingÂ
And then you introduced me
I didn’t expect you toÂ
What would you even introduce me as?Â
You turned to me and smiled
“This is my…” you saidÂ
There are no words for the feelingÂ
You introduced me as yoursÂ
And before that moment I would have never guessed itÂ
But now I don’t know that I can ever be anything else
