Day 12.

I was sitting here
In this café
Supposed to be working
But he caught my eye
The way he
Walked in, limping
Ordered his drink
And walked the stairs
Limping too

Maybe it's the overdose
Of caffeine in my body
Making me over think
But he broke my heart
A man
Around his 60s
Maybe older
Alone

The Man
Came downstairs
Took his drink and
Sat outside
Limping and on his own

The Man
People-watching
Sipping on his drink
Lit up a cigar
And continued
People-watching

The way
The Man
Sat so still
Surrounded by so much
But, is alone
Coughing occasionally
Shattered my being
Made me sad
And
Took you away
From my thoughts
For once.
