I walk this way home for a reason

• All the Fundamental Things

Your window was dressed to kill

with ribbons and lights and knickknacks

and bright red curtains,

and as I passed,

it glistened with the reflection

of street lights and falling snow.

I saw you,

in your light brown sweater,

stacking money behind the counter,

behind the window outlined in red,

behind the sign that read,

"Sorry, we're CLOSED."

You looked up, and

in a glance you told me

everything.

Love and war and snow,

secrets and veils

and all the fundamental things,

but mostly the ins and outs of being

alone.

You forced a smile,

and I quickly broke my gaze,

only to set my eyes upon

the bold black letters

that seemed to scream at me

through the ornamented glass wall.

"Help Wanted"

this puts flirting in a whole new light...

the look just screams..."help me" i am alone...and my life is so empty...i need someone to fill it up...there is too much room alone.

this interaction really comes alive with your words.
