Love Letters

Convenient Store

I was your
Convenient Store
A place where
you could stop by
at 2am with
no warning
no explanation
just your coy smile
and wicked
green eyes
you'd stroll in
and roam my aisles
for a few minutes
before going
up to the counter
and only
buying a pack
of minty fresh gum
I'd just smile
say a
thank you
and ask
(beg)
you to come
back again
our meetings
were always like this
but I loved them anyway
because somehow
it still made me
feel special
that at least
you came to me
and not some
other person
however
I knew
we weren't dating
or even went
on a date
before
but I'd take
our short visits
where you
only showed
up when
it was convenient
for you
over nothing
at all
