He Was You

...the bus has just arrived.
 
He's still listening to the music on his phone. Then he noticed the bus and gets on, finally.
 
It's full. He wants to get down and wait for the next.
 
He sees her. She sees him. He sees her. She's looking down.
 
'Well, Imma take this bus for sure' he tells himself.
 
One step, two steps. Everybody's staring at him. Actually no one is. His mind already beginning to play tricks on him.
 
One step, two steps.
Feels like there's not enough  oxygen in the bus. But everybody else is happily breathing.  
 
He walks past few people. One. Two. And there's a seat. Next to her!
 
She's even cuter than he thought.
 
'I got this', He tells himself.  
He sits next her and thinks he got to start a conversation. He starts one.
 
"Is the bus this slow?" He says to her.
She smiles and says "yeah, I've been in it for long".
They talk more. The conversation is on. She seem friendly, she has a sense of humour. There's something else going on in her life apart from her looks.  
And she's happy to talk
to him too.
...so they talk.
 
3 stops to his destination, they are talking.
2 stops. Tension. He can't think of what to do next or even say.
1 stop. His heart is beating. Real fast.
5 minutes to his destination. Its beating. Beating. Beating.
 
Destination! He's totally frozen. He gets up to go. He turns to look at her, she's already looking at him. She smiles and says 'bye'. He
forces a smile and says bye too.
 
He walks to get down the bus. He's losing her.
He walks. He's losing her.
He walks. He's losing her.
 
He gets into the street and looks back at the bus. She's looking at him too through the window.
 
The bus moves. She's out of his life... Forever.
 
He was you!
