"what?"

"oh gluten free, me too!" she said.
"oh, uh, ya, i'm not really, but uh ya it's good..." he said, as the blood rushed harder and faster into his cheeks.
the silence that ensued seemed to last more than mere moments, as it always does in these interactions. every word and movement takes on a weight 100 times more powerful than normal, especially when reflected upon later.

an awkward shuffle, a dance for two.
"uhhh sooooooooooooo 10:30 at mark's kitchen you should come, bye"

in the wind

hey stop
double back, bend over
and foster your feeling
the pain shooting up your leg
could be imagined

with the warmth we've had
this air feels cold
you always avoid my eyes
you're scared to let go
but hey i'm stubborn
and i search and long for you

i should take these hints
i want to believe you're too busy
and it's just a feeling...but don't we make time for what we want?
your silence is an eternity
you loved once from a distance
now you ignore from next door

don't ever think i ignore you
i'd drop everything to unite
i'm just letting you go
