As you flirt shamelessly with
A stranger you will never see again,
You probably didn't know
He was sitting in the dark
Listening intently as you mock
His dreams and secrets-
Things he never even told his mother
Or people closest to him.
You probably didn't even know that
Right there in the darkness
He made a promise to himself.
.
.
As you glance across the room
Looking for the eyes that
You thought would be looking for you,
He was already on the streets
Walking on the promise he made-
From that night onwards,
He will never talk to you again and
He will never ever tell you why.
