Living in a teen movie
by Danielle Ernstand the music just got lower
and the voices just fell so far back
and I feel every sway of air around me
and should it feel just like a movie, cuz
I swear
we're in slow motion
I realize that Ive been holding my breath
and as I exhale
you turn the other way
and someone just bumped into me
shocking the little intimate moment
I was having with my imagination-
you weren't even looking at me...
but Im happy with knowing
you know that I exist
a man who'd never even have to try
to please me
or comfort me
just flash me those eyes
and a little boy smile
and I still remember
the first time my name rolled off your tongue
and you almost touched my hand
as you passed me by
and I swear once I saw you give me a second glance
but then again...
and the song just ended
and the voices are right by my ears
and I realize there's a draft from an open window
and just unlike the movies
you weren't even looking at me 01/13/2006 Author's Note: c. 2002
