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
