Analysis of already



long brown hair tied back

yellow sundress with little stars patterned black,

I watch as you browse the craft section

wondering if you know you’re more beautiful than any art collection,

you bumped into my shoulder, muttering soft apologies

I paid for your books

loving the smile on your face as you scribbled your number on the receipt,

I’d called you later but then remember

I’m already with her
