I know this unavoidable day will come be it sooner or later but deep down I’ve always secretly wish that my I-know is wrong.

And today is the day.
A day that I’ve always been afraid of.

I was laughing happily with my friends when I saw someone who looked like you.
For a moment, I stayed stagnant.

‘Tell me this is not true, tell me that I’ve mistaken someone else as you. Tell me what my brain decoded was wrong’.

I felt a sense of relieve knowing that you’re walking towards your car but at the same time I was worried so I mumbled inside of me, ‘Please you can’t see me. DO NOT SPOT ME!’.

Didn’t quite work out the way I wanted it to be.
I knew you saw me but I tried to avoid eye contact at all cost.
But you just have to come near. You just have to stand right beside me and forced me to mumbled out a weak ‘Hi’.

You just have to.
You just have to.
You just have to.
