our eyes met
smiling bright
"wait" you said
funnier than I thought
you noticed me,
maybe you did before
saw me earlier
perhaps not only saw me
but also realized me
maybe even consumed me,
going through a high
all along since then
the moment had passed
still carrying me,
now I was smiling at strangers
thinking about you
my head humming
signature of your smile
lips pressed against mine,
soon settling down
disappointed facing up
lighting the room
cold again, to freezing,
maybe that was it
forever
never seeing me again
never noticing me again
never realizing me again,
or maybe
you never had,
at least I have it in my head
running like a movie
the screen my cheeks
turning red, starring bright
missing headlights, turning white,
all along I miss you
yet nothing there to miss
I was only a memory
long forgotten
inside your brain
did you even register me?
