I ran into you the other day
at the local coffee shop

please don't look at me like that
like no time has passed
like you're genuinely happy to see me

why do you surround yourself with them?
they dim your light
they suffocate your soul

I can see you trying to break free
like a bird from a cage
a thought from a brain

to think I still get nervous around you
as if time hasn't passed


interesting how the universe makes us run into each other
it's not the first time
but i'm hoping it's the last
