12 step Program
You crossed in front of me
Headed up the stairwell
You looked back
For something
Or someone
It was the first chance
I had in a while
To see your face
You dyed your hair
Shaved
You looked good
Happy
I started to stare
Mesmerize
You caught me off guard
I lost my concentration
As our eyes locked
I felt my heart rip
As you disappeared
In the blur of people
And I ran out of steps
Back to the Heart-on-Sleeve Corner
