One day in October.

Short thoughts of that day.

                                  One day in October

    Today I pulled around to the side of the coffee shop. You were sitting in your car texting.

I stopped and waved to you, and you quickly waved and then went back to texting. 

Without giving me a second look. Then I pulled slowly on past you. You didn't bother to look up as I passed. I never felt so terrible. I felt like I was just a coffee order $2.64 plus the $2.00 tip. I try to make excuses for what happened, but there are none. 

    I Think I'm going to give it all up. I thought we were friends, and I was even beginning to feel a bit more, but that's on me. I knew in my mind you would never feel the same. 

Perhaps, I was just fooling myself, because that's what my heart demanded. And if you know anything about love, the heart is always right.
