As he walked towards the bathroom An old friend summoned him to the bar He figured he'd stop say hi and be on his way She worked the bar after every distraction She would return to continue the conversation Making intense eye contact with one another Smiling with an upbeat personalities The room would become white noise Only able to hear one another's voices The intensity from the far corner staring A group of young regulars observe the situation Did not give off a welcoming vibe being territorial He sat at the bar sober not into crowds anymore He out grew the scene but did enjoy her company Just friends enjoying the social moment Didn't expect much fromΒ Β anyone just did his best Gave his all not afraid to be an individual Respected others most of all himself not settling Trying to be genuine without hidden agendas Another awkward stare down but would ignore it
