i walked into a tavern, it was lively
i made my way to the bar in attempt to strike a conversation
"who do we have here?" the bartender asked sternly
i became the center of attention
i stood out

i took a deep breath, preparing to answer
before i could speak i got interrupted
"i had been waiting for your return!" someone said
the person introduced me to many faces till it became too much to bear

i left the tavern thinking i escaped
but then i realized i forgot my notebook
the next day i went back, i found my notebook
it was filled, filled with messages, some nice others not
most of them said: "see you soon"

the wanderer's face lit up as she clenched the notebook closely to her chest and walked out of the tavern
