Submissions

  • For old times' sake

    I don't know you. 

    I knew your laugh and the way your eyes crinkled,

    I knew that you loved chocolate and hated shrimp, 

    I knew everything about you,

    But I don't know you.

    Not anymore.

    I look at him.

    He looks at me.

    We're both holding back laughter.

    The elevator doors won't open,

    And worse than that,

    We're stuck in here

    With a lot of other

    Random

    People

    Who we don't know!
