The sudden shift of your head to avoid me

The effort to not look up even though you knew I was there

The noise you create to drown out my stories about you

 

I know. I know.

 

I apologise for not getting the hint right away.

I got happy and thought otherwise.

 

I’ll slowly inch my way to the door now

And cast a final longing gaze,

Stay healthy and happy, my MVP.
