The Ice Tea


The clock’s hands point to eight.
Music fills the room.
The air is wrapped in the chill of the AC.
People are busy with their own lives.

You sit right in front of me.
Your eyes meet mine,
but I don’t know where your thoughts are drifting.
Are you still thinking of me,
or of something else entirely?

I don’t know…

The drink before us seems to speak,
telling us our time together is slowly running out.

Here,
I sit right in front of you,
writing these lines.
I hope you like them,
just as I like you.

And now it is time for us to part for a while.
Let the iced tea be the only witness
to where we met tonight.
