i walked by you today

it was cramped, more cramped than usual.

we passed each other on the stairs, head up, no eye contact, it's been a month of this, i know the drill.

but what was different today was,

i brushed your arm extremely lightly.

i felt your skin.

even if it was for a moment,

and even if you didn't feel it,

i felt a rush of you

everything came back to me

after a month of withdrawal,

i got the high.

the electricity.

maybe it was nerves,

or maybe it was the spark.
