Weird Encounter
WEIRD ENCOUNTER
I see him after months & months of no communication
But I wonder which words to tell him
Hey?
How are you doing?
How have you been?
It’s been long since we spoke?
And I end up saying nice seeing you again,
As I stretch my arm to give him a handshake.
We sit gazing at each for a while not knowing what to say
Suddenly, he asks what drink will you have?
“A glass of cold passion juice, I respond.”
In my mind, I have mixed reaction
I want to cry, I need answers, and I need him to tell me what happened
But wonder at the same time how will I start the conversation.
Finally, he breaks the silence and asks how I have been
For the period we have been apart.
For the sake of the good old times
He pulls me in his arms and we start dancing
Dancing to the classical music we love listening too
He turns me around stares at me again
Then, I lean on his shoulder
He whispers, word by word
“I missed dancing with you, holding you in my arms.”
As the music comes to halt, he releases my hand and we head to sit.
Being awkward as it may seem
Responding one word to his questions
Without follow up questions or statements
My eyes are full of tears, nearly breaking down
But I hold on and hide my emotions
Time passes by and we bid each other goodbye
Hoping the next meeting won’t be awkward.
“Am happy seeing you again, he says that as he kisses my cheek and exits”
