he interrupted me,
grabbing my arm
and pulling me in for a hug

i freeze as his arms
wrap around me
and my soap-covered hands

i hear him whisper
"i love you" over the music
i'm trying to dissolve into

i'm still frozen
as he releases me
and steps back

he walks away
as the tears pour down
and the shivers fall down my spine
