Glance

He sped by past me fast
Got caught off guard
Looked back to check,
There he really was.

Lungs shut off a sec,
Heart skipped a beat,
Body froze a moment,
Mouth went dry as can be.

I called out excitedly
Thought he'd notice
He kept walking further
Mind in his business.

Face turned flush
Heart sunk down low
Swallow that fleeting hope
Turn my eyes below.

Him… my past life,
Ignored me like usual.
Drag my feet
Embarrassed…
To Walk forward
Without a glance.
