It's the little stares
we share across
the aisle.
The sweet smiles
we steal from each
other when no one's
looking
The short and
awkward conversations
we exchange
because we're nervous
and we know
that what we feel
shouldn't be
there
The moments we
convince ourselves to not
stare back when
others are present
To not steal a smile
any longer
because that's the same
smile you give
someone else
To not say Hi or
create conversations
as often
just so that it will be
easier once we
fully understand we're
not meant to be
together
But Maybe in a different
life we are meant
to be together
However, I'm glad we
know each other in
this one.
