Near closing time
they find each other
on repeat
in quiet aisles of fluorescent light
and mopped floor scented air.
A fantasy difficult to resist,
what is this becomes what if…
As lingering smiles
hint possibilities,
of a new love blueprint.
Yet,
self-doubt lurks…
She walks away
courage cursed.
Returning
after believing in herself,
to quiet aisles of fluorescent light
and mopped floor scented air,
missing her chance.
He wasn’t there.
