you were sitting across from me on the M train. i noticed you had just began a new book and then i noticed your hand tattoos. i took my gloves off thinking perhaps you?d notice the ones on my hands. we locked eyes for a second.
the whole time i was telling myself, you?ve got to ask for their number if you both get off at the same stop. the forest ave station came and we both got off. i froze and you walked away. i spent the rest of the evening mulling over my inaction and thinking of how beautiful your hair was.
