This place... What else?

I don't know how, why and what was on my mind but I'm here now and I have to just go with it. It's not like I haven't been here before. But of all places, why this place? Why did my feet have to take me here? And why now? Now that I'm feeling this way.

"Oh dear! Are you okay? You're all wet, come inside." The owner walked up to me and guided me inside. "Wait here. I'll get some towels for you." And she returned with some towels and a hot chocolate. "Where's your boyfriend? Why is he not with you?" Boyfriend. Right. I'm not in the mood to talk.

"I'm fine. I'll have some burgers- two, a macaroni salad and another hot chocolate. Is the corner available?" I asked her. I saw her purse her lips and lightly shook her head.

"Yes. It's always vacant." And she gave me a light smile.

"I'll wait for my food there then. If you don't mind." And I smiled back.

"Of course I don't. You make yourself at home." And she headed to the counter.

"By the way," She turned. "Nice addition." Pointing to the speakers attached at the corner of the ceiling. 

"You guys suggested it." She smiled.

"Right." And I lost my smile.

"Customer's are always right."

"Right-o." And so I left while giving back the towel.

"Keep it. You need to dry up." And so I nodded and headed to the farthest side of the burgger place. If you're wondering where I am and wondering if you've guessed correctly, YES, I am at the burger place right now. The place where HE and I went to after the game. And I don't know why I'm still here. Why am I here? Really? And I heard it.

*Going back to the corner where I first saw you, gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move*

This corner...

This was the place we actually bonded.

*Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand, saying if you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?*

Yeah... I wish I can do that.

So I would know where he's been. Where my friend has been? Where did he go all this time? And what happened to us.

*Some try to hand me money, they don't understand. I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man*

Broken-hearted huh? Am I?

Am I really?

*I know it makes no sense but what else can I do? How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?*

I guess... I am. And another tear escaped my eye.

*Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me*

Will he? Will he even feel that?

*And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be*

Would you even wonder? Huh? Would you even care?

*Thinking maybe you'd come back to the place that we'd meet*

Would you even bother? To be here with me?

*And you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street*

Should I wait for you? Will it even do me good?

*So I'm not moving, I'm not moving*

Should I not move?
