I saw you again. You were standing in the remote corner of the room, holding a glass of wine in your left hand. Your tall frame, dressed in black, attracting admiring glances from the women in the party. Ignoring them, you stood alone, aloof from the crowd that was partying and dancing to "burning love"....aloof....but those sharp eyes of yours taking in every detail. You have changed a little bit...and not changed at all. You still have that air of power around you that does not let you go unnoticed even in the most crowded of all places. From this far a distance, I could see your handsome face show a flicker of disinterest when someone walked up to you to start a conversation. That is so you. Yet you talk to them as if they were the only people in the room. Of course, they must not have noticed your disinterest in them. You mask it well. But i can see right through you. I always have.
You kept glancing at my direction. Did you know I was standing there all along? I was hoping I had myself hidden well, in the crowd and the dim lights. I froze when i saw you walk towards me. So much for my grand plan of hiding in the dark. As you grew closer, I knew I had to leave. Leave this cursed party. Leave before i see you upclose. Leave before those memories start flowing in. Leave before I'm overwhelmed by remorse. Leave, before the reality hits me....that you are probably better off without me by your side.
