The Girl On the Bus
Jennifer Umanzor Feb 2019
I thought you became exasperated when I sat next to you
However, you greeted me with the most sweetest and delicate tone
You stared me right in the eyes and instantly recognized my dull face
I never thought of myself as a memorable person, but I was to you
We exchanged our memories of junior year and for the first time in a while, I actually felt like someone had a genuine interest in me
Although we never spoke much before this interaction, I had a feeling that I’ve known you for ages
The bus arrived at your stop and my heart sank as I watched you grab your belongings
I let out a soft “goodbye” and smiled
I’m glad that I chose the correct seat

The Truth Reveals Itself
Jennifer Umanzor Aug 2017
I kissed your lying mouth
When I knew that things were going south.
You forced yourself to believe,
But loving me was something you could never achieve.
I thought we could recover,
But you always thought of another.
You finally confessed,
And I got a feeling in my chest.
I was relieved that I no longer had to compete
For someone I thought who made me complete.
You meant a lot to me
But I won't plea.
I know I'll start a story with someone new
And you'll become someone that I once knew.

— The End —
