it pains me to see you.
only because your eyes aren't looking for mine, yet they find me. there's a split second you see me, and you remember, but then you look away as if it was a mistake to see me.
i wonder what runs through your mind, is it panic? disgust?
there's only a second you recognize me, then act as if you never met me. it's strange how things could turn this quickly.
it hurts.
there's no smile when you see me now. nor is there any acknowledgement of my being.
i brush it off as best i can but somehow it says tangled in my thoughts.
the split seconds of you looking into my eyes, remembering, then looking away and forcing yourself to forget. a sight i hope i can erase or replace, but i know i will not any time soon.
it was nice to know you,
but i suppose,
i do not anymore.

s.d.
