Little Moments

We brushed arms today.

It was nothing, something people overlook every day.

But I’m still thinking about it.

Not because we didn’t apologize

But because we both looked at each other

And we remembered.

I was on the phone in the back office,

Hiding from distractions,

Trying to focus.

You snuck up behind me,

And placed office supplies on my head.

The distraction who finds me wherever I am.

The rain didn’t keep you indoors.

Your eyes made sure I found my car safely from across the lot.

I wanted to wave goodbye, or smile,

But my legs carried me away,

Arms locked to my side, lips frozen in place

Just like yours.

When I came back,

You told me you liked my hair this way,

But you didn’t want to see me.

You told me you missed talking to me,

But I had to delete your number.
She still comes first.
