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
