Glimpse.

Just a glimpse

Jittery genuine glimpse

Sharply sneak a glimpse

Across the ginormous group

Of grins and giggles

Glimpse of a

Boy.

Just a boy;

Not just a boy.

Please don't snap

I snap

I stand

I stare

I sprint

Flooding,

Falling,

Frantically finding a way

To escape

From a glimpse

Not just a glimpse

A montage

Of all the little glimpses.

Glimpse of frequent texts

And broken promises.

Glimpse of his lips on mine

That night in November.

Glimpse of his arms wrapped around me 

on late February nights.

Glimpse of more than

Just a boy

That dumb boy

Lost boy

How could a boy?

Why would a boy?

The I told you about that boy

Always late boy

Stoner boy

Dumb boy

How could a boy?

Why would a boy?

From just a friend kind of boy,

Best friend kind of boy,

To flirty boy,

And I will never forget about

My boy.

I loved that boy,

But he always was

Just

A dumb boy.

Why would a boy?

How could a boy...

Just

Give up?

The tidal wave that all began

With a jittery genuine glimpse

Just a glimpse

A glimpse

At The 

Wrong

Boy.


The author's comments:

This piece was inspired by seeing someone who once was a big part of my life in a daily aspect again. This poem is just a glimpse of the anxiety that comes with being trapped within a high school cafeteria with the same people everyday especially when it’s ones you no longer are able to connect with.
