i wasn't ready to leave
for i wanted to know your name
so i did the only thing i could think of
and strode right back through the door.
i apologized for waking you up
and said i forgot my flip flops
then introduced myself and shook
your hand i wondered if you felt it too
or if it was just me who felt our hands
fit perfectly together.
something in me wanted to stay
wanted you to ask me to not go away
but with a smile and nod i turned the other way
"nice meeting you douglas."
