You know that it’s stupid if you over-analyze it.
You know that it’s stupid if it is extraneous.
For this reason, what happened four months ago is stupid.
I remember how late it was, almost dark for that matter
and I was on my way to drop off that last assignment that needed to be turned in.
I remember rounding the corner of the dull, brick nine-hundred building,
and seeing her in the classroom; I was so scared.
But I knew it had to be done.
So I went into the room and there she was, casually strolling around
like she always used to; like I had recalled.
And I do seem to redeem those eyes as sharp.
I did seem to interject my innocence and cluelessness towards her.
Obviously and aimlessly I went up to the man and handed him what I needed to,
And he probably made some comment about how happy he was
(There’s something I don’t remember),
And as I turned around and started to go, I heard her- it almost frightened me-
say two words I had never heard her say in the 461 days and 45 minutes since I had met her;
“Hello Tyler.”
