april 4, 2014.
the first time I ever saw you:
surf and turf night, oversized crawfish impostors
your scruffy, uneven cut honey sand smeared mess
girl I knew from class, but didn't notice me
the second time I saw you:
sweaty, uncomfortable, fourloko
lipstick drunk (so fucking sweaty)
back against the wall, too cool for me
the third time I saw you:
library, trying to focus
tattoos on your forearm, hello girlfriend
smart, making rounds, making eye contact with me
the fourth time I saw you:
caught off guard, entertaining banalities
plaid dress, crochet, broadway
heart splintered into bloody thump when you walked past me
