I see you coming towards me
along the busy street
You haven't seen me yet
You almost pass me by
I finally make up my mind
To make myself seen
I hesitate and finally tap your shoulder
You turn with a surprised smile
I extend my hand for a shake
Halfway change my mind
and go in for a hug
Leaving your hand midair
The sideways shoulder hug don't last a second
You are standing on somebody's way
You move aside and trip on a rock
We are both saying sorry
I muse a little space
You lick your lips bashfully
and they come to life
Someone is asking to paint your nails
'You moved places' I ask
'I don't go down that road anymore' You say
Parting pleasantries
Serious silence
You turn to go
I turn
We are strangers again
