He sat at the bar waiting for a friend
Valued sobriety living clean
Not giving into temptation
Did not purchase a drink
He would lock eyes with the bartender
Both smiling at one another
Had a conversation full of support
Talked about life and changes
One moving onto new relationship
While the other tried to get it together
The bar was not packed cleared out
He arrived after the big game before playoffs
While she worked gave him attention
He admired her effort to acknowledge him
She could've worked easily ignore him
Being able to connect with another being
Both sharing personal information
Social interaction in public felt right
No longer common now a days
Able to make eye contact feel the reaction
Everything is on social media
Both hearing one another's voices
Talking setting a tone between them
Able to get sense of the person's vibes
So many ways to communicate
Yet disconnected from people
Getting to know her was a great feeling
While she took interest in his life
