OLD HABITS | KNJ

IV.

hola, areum

i think you might've noticed me today, but it

looks like you gazed right past me. it's okay. i
observe a lot but am not as easily observed.
not much is memorable about me, anyway.
giving is what i do best, but that's about it.

for all of these past months in college, you've
only looked over at me once—that was today.
randy has kept you from looking elsewhere.

yes, he's your boyfriend,—a very jealous
one, too,—but, i mean, we could still have an
unromantic relationship (strictly platonic),
right? it's not a sin for you to have friends.

to have never looked at me before is strange.
others notice me daily, so why don't you?
unless you're afraid to look; this doesn't just
concern me, does it? he gets furious when
he catches you staring at anybody else, huh?

p.s. i'm studying psychology, so don't be impressed or uneasy about the precision of my assumptions.
