Maybe I should cut down on the sweets.

Or not.

There was nothing wrong
in making my day sweeter.

The weather sertainly wasn't helping.

It looks like it wants to cry again.

Maybe it will.

Groceries in hand,
I walked down the empty streets.

The day after I had met him
the sun had been shining
as if celebrating his presence.

But slowly with his absence
since that day
with time, the weather had worsened.
It reflected me indeed.

I wondered sometimes
Where he was
What he was doing right now
Was I ever going to see him again.

little ramen shop
he had taken me to.

fishing out my keys.

Should I move?

I was afraid to.

But he was there.

Back flat againced my apartment building.

He was staring down
at his hands.
He was probably looking

hurriedly trying to close the gap
between us.

He looked up
his eyes piercing through me.
