Part One
I saw you for the first time in almost two months.
Not that long.
But when you see someone everyday, even a week can feel like a lifetime.
My friend pointed you out.
Two rows back and to the left.
There were so many people with you but I noticed you immediately.
You were wearing yellow.
A color that two months ago would have been so forgien to your wardrobe.
I yelled your name even though I was scared of you ignoring me.
I wanted to be more outgoing.
Like you.
You looked excited to see me, but a wave and a smile was all I got.
Nothing like the hours of laughter we used to share.
But it was better than nothing.
Better than nothing.
Part Two
I saw you again.
While in line for concessions.
I tried keeping my attention on my friends.
But there you were.
It didn’t help that earlier I went down a rabbit hole of old pictures of us.
Downtown, with the space needle in the back.
When the game was over I tried to go over and say hi but I was too caught up
with my new friends.
Selfishly, I hoped your night was just as fun as mine.
