I saw him again today.
I always do.
But this, felt different.
Less tense.

For once, I didn't try to ignore him,
For once, I went up to him.
But no, I was going to fast-
don't say anything!
He didn't even notice me.

With a brush of a fingertip,
a distinct breeze-
He was gone once again.

Before we would go back to our routine and break this peace,
Before I'd live to regret it:
As swiftly as he moved,
I said what I hoped he wouldn't mistake-
"Sorry."

What was unheard,
was left unsaid.

The air never seemed more suffocating.
