He didn't show up

again the next day,

the day after that,

nor the day after that,

until a week passed.

He finally appeared during

the middle of the

lunch period,

seeming to completely

ignore my presence

yet again.

I wondered if he asked himself

if I waited here all week

for him.

I wish he could

ask me that aloud,

so I can say yes

and hope for some

kind of reaction

for once.
