A sudden rush of expectation
as I realise it's you
Like a river in a droughtful season
How cool you didn't call
Initial hint of disappointment
The mirror of my smile
that isn't there, that doesn't follow
a very causal 'hi'
Why did you come at all
if it wasn't for me?
Another blow of resignation
when realise I do
Now in your hands
the book you borrowed
The whole way we first met
comes together in my head
when the picture's clear you've left
