Words Left Unspoken

16.I

When I first saw you , you were a complete stranger.

In your jersey shorts and
your white T-shirt.

You were busy on your phone ,
like you are texting someone .

Yet I know you were just pretending ,
Your eyes were somewhere else.

Our gaze had met ,
like shooting stars and galaxies.

Our silence tangled up,
but it seems so loud in our minds.

I walked away , there's no level
of love in my heart .

I checked for a loud heat beat.

There were none.

There were none.

On the first day of school, you were not around.

I did not even remember you,

It sounded like a joke, yes.

On the second day of school , I was absent and sick .

With mixed emotions and you in my head.

He was not a student here , I told myself.

Is there a little feeling lingering ?

No.

There was none.

There was none.

On the third day of school,
I was busy adjusting.

Making friends with everyone ,
but I failed.

I failed .

It was a tough hour for me.

But like in the Anime series , I want to gaze upon the window.

To stare at the clouds,

To the birds sitting on cable wires.

Until I saw a familiar side view ,

Of a familiar face .

It was you.

With your mysterious eyes.

So dark, so occupied.

Like it was a galaxy trapping me in.

You were near the window.

I was near the door. 

At that moment , I had a choice.

Is it for me to forever gaze on the window.

Or turn back and go out of the door.

It was a choice.

But I had chosen.

I sat down and stared at the window.

But my eyes were looking at somewhere else.

Somewhere else , somewhere near you.
