My heart skips a beat
a deadly crack in my armor.
For a feeble second our eyes meet
and I wonder if you can see the stifled pain in them.
I wonder if you see the sleepless nights.
I wonder if you think of me, and how often I cross you mind.
I wonder all these things and more as I return your gaze with a stiff nod and an awkward grin.

The author's comments:
This I wrote a wile back, it's about the awkwardness of approaching and ex-lover and how all you get it a glance from them, and from that one tiny glance brings back every memory that you've ever had with them, and they questions go along.
