I watched you today

I watched you today as you walked by

For an instant I think I saw a flash of pain

Flicker in your eyes then it was gone

With a shake of your head you keep walking

I stand there a moment longer

What I wouldn’t give

To know what you’re thinking

I can tell you what I’m thinking

I’m stronger then this

With a shake of my head

I also walk away

Whispering to myself

“No I’m not”
