One that got away

Months passed by in a blur.

I nearly forgot your face.

Your man dominates

the chat bubble I text daily.

//

But there you sit

in my driveway,

frantically calling me

as if I wasn't ready.

//

Can I play boyfriend? 

Even for an afternoon?

Running errands with you.

Strangers staring; we look cute.

//

It went by too fast.

Lunch was delicious,

though we didn't drink enough

for me to say anything meaningful.

//

I just got lost

in your eyes and jawline;

the way your lips curl

when you tease me.

//

But then you left.

Zipping away in your Camry,

leaving me to sit alone,

wondering when I'd see you again.
