she feels her hair tickle
her back as she turns
to face him.
he hasn't changed one bit.
his glasses are still here,
and that same smile
paints itself across his face
as their eyes meet.
his messy brown hair is
untamed even after all these years.
she finds herself in shock,
and he does too.
when they were in
junior high,
he had rejected her,
embarrassed her,
shoved her away.
but now that she was beautiful
in what he saw
he wanted his take at her.
before she could say anything,
her boyfriend
came over and took her hand,
leading her away.
he stood there,
shocked as she was whisked away.
if he could not see
the beauty behind a girl
when she is not a woman,
he doesn't deserve her when
she is visibly attractive as a woman.
