//She.//He.//

Sometimes,
their eyes would still crash together
ever so slightly.


Bony fingers
grey hoodie

It's him

Don't look

Don't let him catch you stealing glimpses

//

Sharp nails
skinny jeans

It's her

Don't look

Don't let her catch you stealing stares

//

A defined jaw

crooked nose

and then

those crinkled corners

Don't go further

//

A pointed nose

mistreated lips

and then

that frame of dark lashes

Don't go past this


But it's already too late
always too late

And it does not last two seconds

but it's enough to drag both of them down

for there was no emotion
in either of them
(their façades)


Heads down
and
hearts even lower

Reading minds is yet
a not bestowed gift

So all that's left
is the assumption that

(after all)

their feelings were not reciprocated.
