he locked his eyes straight ahead

aware of distractions

would nod and agree with what she said

now and then asking questions

his hands would shake

as he lit another cigarette

but she pretended not to notice



call it crazy

a woman and a man

our days are numbered

so get out while you can

wasn't it good

while it lasted

wasn't it good



she twisted and played with her hair

cause he made her nervous

kept smiling a no-one in particular

avoiding eye contact



she stirred the coffee more than it needed

but he pretended

not to notice
