A friend of whom you were aware

During the time

Of today

We two

Had not much to say.

As we always do

We sat near

But your discomfort

Was quite clear.

I didn't know

What I did

Your emotions

Were perfectly hid.

And even when

I wanted your attention

I couldn't do anything

To loosen the tension.

I sat right there,

Right next to you

I had no idea

What to do.

You looked right past me

To talk to a friend

And I just sat there

Wondering if this is the end.

But that can't be

I have done nothing at all

But in that moment I realized

How I'm so small.

I am nobody to anyone

I don't matter if I get lost.

I'm not someone

Who your mind crossed.

I don't know

If I ever actually were

A friend

Of whom you were aware.
