When I said "hello",
Just the other day,
It was a short exchange
You seemed bit surprised,
(which I don't know how to interpret)
and I'm sure the five second conversation
Seemed simple enough to you
But I had spent a good ten minutes,
looking at you,
And deciding,
what I would have
the courage to say
And though you didn't see it,
I smiled to myself as I walked away,
Glad that I had said anything at all
