There is no title I like enough to commit to.

Just a few idle words;
nothing complex,
nothing meaningful.

They're enough to affirm
my existence in your eyes;
they're beautiful.

Here it goes again,
I feel I'm falling away
from blue skies, cold for a spring day.

But there's nothing I can do,
nothing more to say;
I have nothing left for you.

We were both meant to walk away.

I can't help but wish
I'd looked in the right place,
if only for a glimpse of your face.

But sadly, I just passed you by
with music in my ears,
and my thoughts trapped in the sky.

Today's poem is brought to you by boredom at work, the letter "E" and the number −1.602×10^(−19). Today's closing thought is brought to you by Sesame Street.

Edit: The back story to this is fairly simple, so I may as well post it. I passed someone I like a lot while running the other day, she texted me later saying she had seen me, and part of me wished I'd seen her so I could stop to talk. There's kind of a constant war going on in my head these days, between my desire to build connections and my instinct telling me to keep my distance since I'm leaving soon.
