I sat next to him, so to speak
as next to as this place allowed.
We didn’t know each other,
hadn’t spent any other time together
yet so much of me was pulled to him.
The knit cap snuggly bunted on his head
the sweater, like any sweater, yet so appealing as it wrapped around his arm.
I felt sure that if I were able to, I would want to be the him I saw him to be from this
outside~
