It was within these halls you stood now that I walked hand in hand with him weeks ago It was the same paintings he had kissed me to that you are now admiring alone He and I both wore white and looked quite lovely You wore head-to-toe black, implying something An event I shared with him that happened a few weeks ago that was only captured by memory An Instragram moment for you that  you will share to anyone who's watching and listening In a party over a year ago, you saw me sitting alone and scared of everyone I caught you staring at me while your arms were wrapped around someone Our eyes met then like the way one stares at a beautiful painting. But like an onlooker, we walk away with nothing... Fast forward 12 months-- Our first trip to the museum With you as your only company and me in the arms of somebody Though I was happy being with him, I have yet to have someone of my own Here you are currently, pushing away the sadness of your state of isolation What if that coincidence went further and we both saw each other? Amidst the oil on canvas and statues Would I have a chance with you? These questions run my mind as it wasn't long ago I've been in the floors you now stand The missed opportunity from a year ago is probably another missed one a year later

Boy at the Museum
