Play it again sam.

She strode in, lighting the room.
Noticing her immediately.
A jolt went thought me.
I froze as she waved at me.
Or perhaps the guy sitting next to me.
I waved back in silence.
Avoiding eye contact.
As I'd been advised to do.
Definitely not speak to her in any way.
Told this would upset her so.
Avoidance & silence the strategic way.
Downward gaze as i passed her to the bar.
In the toilet had a breakdown.
Strong sense of mutual awareness.
Bought another drink avoiding eye contact.
Definitely not acknowledging her present.
As i was told to do, painful as it is.
Bought another drink same M.O.
Getting used to this. I'm calming down.
I'm chatting to others laughing & stuff.
Even writing this down.
This is easier than i imagined.
Going to the toilet.
Just when i wasn't expecting it.
She called my name from behind.
I stopped turned still not speaking.
Eyes cast down. She had in her hand.
A red plastic bag containing a silk scarf.
Saying I'd left it behind in her flat.
Not recognizing the scarf.
Yet scent of perfume arose.
Placing the red bag on the table.
Adjourning to the toilet.
Not sure what to think.
Another breakdown occured.
So i wrote a note explaining.
How JD told me not to speak to you.
As it upsets you.
I was just gonna pass it to you.
So you'd understand.
Returning to the bar.
You'd gone. Which surprised me.
I was told you'd left something for me.
A red plastic bag containing a silk scarf.

Later as i was chatting Micheal.
With the biggest smile gave me a huge hug.
