I remember her not being there
Walking alone to class
Walking a little slower than normal,
Feeling lonely without her hand in mine.

Walking to the cafe
My favorite time with her
30 minutes with her every day
But not today..

I didn't want to go in the room
Didn't want to see the empty chair
Didn't want to sit there
Not physically alone, but alone.

But there she was
Walking towards me somehow
I'm sure my heart skipped a beat
As I ran to hug her

I was completely unaware
Of the crowded room around us
All that mattered was her
In my arms

She had come in late
And decided to surprise me
It worked, I thought ironically.
And I could not be happier.

How does she do it?
Have me so wrapped around her finger
That I never want to leave
Never care for anyone else
