I almost left two drinks prior. I didn’t even bother putting on a dress. Funny how that works. I saw you from across our happy hour. You were wearing a really nice suit. Like I was really impressed. The shoes, the tie, the belt ...the form just mesmerized me. I caught your eye a few times. You seemed ...distracted? At a loss? Depressed? ...lonely?
You drank two old fashioneds in solitary confinement ...not even staring at your smart phone. Just existing. It looked so freeing as my friends continued to drag me into the monotonous conversations and remarks about work, work, and play. I saw this vision of a version of myself that could be with you. Fantasy morphed into stupidity and that is what gave me true happiness. I am now incarcerated by your love within my own fantasies.
I hope you saw me. I hope you recognize me. I hope you go again. Frontier. Do it. I’ll be there. Gazing and studying you again from afar.
