Maybe I Did Miss YouA Poem by Eala Cartwright
"Why? Did you miss me?"
He asks, And I can see it in his smirk He's joking, yet not really joking. He longs to know If his natural charm still works I roll my eyes In casual boredom, Fake annoyance at his arrogance. But his words ring in my head Because he's right And it is taunting my subconscious I have missed him. Missed him like a drowning man Would miss breathing But I don't have the courage In the moment To confess him my reasons. Not now; Not in front of our friends Friend's who see but cannot see The deeper meaning Behind the shy smiles And twisting tentative tease. So instead I wait Until we are in his car later. He pulls to a stop at my cue, "Maybe." I smirk, leaning back inside the door. He looks at me then, confused, "Just maybe I did miss you."
