In Case of flirting

In case you catch those eyes that have been starring for 10 consecutive minutes

Don’t smile

Don’t wait a while and slyly turn your head to bat your lids

Don’t twirl your hair

Or fidget in your chair

Act as if you didn’t notice him

Because your mental space is occupied by the image of your lovers face

Note: this only works if your partner has worth

Otherwise you’ve already strategically walked by switching harder than angry drivers in traffic

Opening opportunities for said admirer to inquire bout what your name be

Or maybe you’ve flashed your dimples moved your bag from the other empty stool

An invitation simple enough for a fool

Now car rides, conversations, bed acquaintances and lonely moments siting up waiting later…..

You wonder,, why you didn’t just resist

Oh how that past relationship shall be missed

The things we give for a taste of evanescent bitter bliss.
