Time for lunch.
I walk into the cafeteria and she's sitting with you.
Next to you.
You laugh at something she said.
She stares at you, a smile on her face.
She likes you, you don't notice.
You're still hung up on me.
I still love you.
I can't love you.
We make eye contact and I move along.
I can feel your eyes tearing a hole in my back.
I try not to notice.

Lunch ends and I have to walk past you.
My heart beats fast as I stare straight ahead.
As soon as I know I'm out of your sight, I take a deep breath and let it go.
You looked happy.
I didn't want to ruin it.
She looked happy.
I'm not going to ruin it.
I love you but I can't ruin it.
You're happy.
