it's like barely missing another car on the road

like a jolting swerve on a lonely highway

at least that's how it usually feels

this time though,

this time felt like seeing him walking by

passing a wall of windows, perfectly casting the sun on his brown eyes

only long enough for me to notice that they even glimmered a little green 

it's like feeling how close he is to you as he passes

doesn't look back, or offer a smile

it's like getting so close and missing him by just a couple inches

in a building overflowing with people that could never compare to him
