to she, long overdue, i know

so sorry

the clink
of frosted glasses
bodies swaying
in tune with
the upbeat
music playing
i inhale the
slow burning
smoke from my cigarette
i offer you one
you just sat there
watching
smiling at everyone

funny what
bonds we forge
just by staring

you laugh
as if on cue
but i see what
is hidden behind
those seemingly
perfect lashes

as if i am
looking at myself
infront of a mirror
my sad eyes is
reflected in yours
but only for a minute

and then you
go back to
your pretense
well rehearsed
no one will suspect

but for that brief moment
i knew. . .

i'll be your ally. . .

your secret is safe with me
it's ok, go breathe easy
