The empty seat
I saw you on the light rail.
You were reading a book
I had read.
I saw your face
And the empty seat
Next to you.
I struggled with my bag
And moved to the seat
Next to you.
I should have spoken
Right away.
But I sat there
Thinking about
What to say.
the bell rang.
you closed your book
And left your seat.
I had so much to ask you
And tell you.
but now
your seat
is empty.
