A Story by atlas

do you know?


i saw you

and i 

i don’t know 

i really don’t.


you were cute and i guess i was too

but it wasn't enough to get you to talk to me

because here i am 

months later 

talking to the same people but 

not you

and i really don’t know why.


it’s not like i’ve ignored you and it’s not like you’ve ignored me either

but theres not a word for it 

what we have 

or what we did

we just stared, i guess,

and imaged what could’ve happened

i don’t know what version you saw

the beautiful sunset dates

or the screaming tears that followed

but it never happened 

so why are we pretending it did

it’s almost sad

we stand here

sneaking glances while talking about other people

and sometimes we get caught

talking about you

or looking at you

and it’s almost awkward

because neither one knows what to think

and i don’t know whether to talk to you or move on

and maybe you’re stuck in the same thing 

but i don’t know 

because you're still over there

and i’m still over here 

and no one is doing anything

and no one knows if they should.
