records

twelve

i buzzed, and buzzed, and buzzed.

the door finally clicked, i was so shocked i nearly missed my time to open it.

text from: record boy
the doors unlocked

i nearly ran up the flights of stairs.  when i made it to the door, i  could hear the strumming of a guitar.

i held my breath and listened to hear it better.

i noticed i had never heard it before, the voice trembled to the acoustic.

"you were mine for a night, i don't know how to say goodbye"

i rested my head too heavily and it thudded against the door, the music abruptly stopped and i twisted the knob.

you weren't the same boy from the record store anymore. you had seemed fuller, brighter but still so sad.

"i missed seeing you."

and i realized that i had missed you without knowing you.
