You looked longer than you should have
Luckily, he didn't notice
I didn't tell him
He knows about you and sure as the sun shines daily he would have punched you and knocked you out
Then shook your hand for leaving and hurting me
Looking up was my way out
That is what I did through your eyes when that no longer should have been
Yesterday was long ago and so was nineteen
No more lectures
No more Dr. Ruth classes, yes that one
That moment and you are gone except for nightmares of you and that little boy lost forever
Little girl found
