He comes close in
peering
puzzled
disappointed
Steps back
glances at me as he leaves
I want to shout at him
‘Don’t look at me, be with me
And you will see.’
He’s back
A relaxed look in his eyes
Begins to move as if dancing
Is dancing
Blows me a kiss as he leaves
I blush
He’s seen me
And I’ve seen him.
