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.
