i wondered if you were finally coming to the cafeteria
to eat with your friends just like the rest of us did.
if not, what were you doing following me?
i was on my way to sit and eat with my friends.
and suddenly you sneezed.
i turned around and you were looking down, rubbing your nose
i saw how your eyes crinkled at the sides
i thought it was cute.
i turned around before you looked back up,
so you wouldn't catch me staring
"bless you," i whispered, and ran off to lunch.
