Odd reminders that I knew you so well.

Today I saw you at the traffic lights;
We were on opposite sides.
I let you push the button,
It's the sort of thing you like to do,
So I let you.
You press it whilst licking pizza off your fingers
Absentmindedly looking over at me.
You knew I'd let you push it -
You knew me.
I pretend not to see you
As you have the greatest power-
Your with people.
Why am I always the one alone?
You make me nervous.
'I don't know how to respond to you'
You used to say.
Things change.
We change, almost.
Yet I still know you'll push that button
And you know I won't.
