I saw you


hey I saw you again first time in over 2 months although it's been just a few weeks since I ended things I saw you in a new group arm in arm with my ex friend's ex far away from those toxic people you once called friends I saw you and your hair was darker did you dye it? or maybe it was just wet? it grew out so much since I last saw it I saw you and your face looked different your lips smaller your skin was tanner and clearer I saw you your posture was better that tank top your shoulders you always showed they looked broader and your chest bigger like in my old fantasies but I saw you with that same serious expression I've only seen you smile at my gig back in April and I saw you those eyes not with your glasses over them yet still the same I knew it was you my face felt warm and before you could ever see me I looked away
