courtship

they smile at each other
she holds her cell phone, her chapstick
wishes she was holding his hand
i know those tricks.
i've used and abused them.

he laughs (guffaws) and she giggles,
runs her hand through her hair.
i remember being there.

a split second and they notice in the other's eyes
a happy surprise
but for fear, and lies, there are alibis
and it won't happen this afternoon.
darling, i remember you.
