you seen me before..

Ruby speaks :

You've seen me before. A glance in traffic as I walk down Orchard Road with my sunglasses, warm smile reciprocated, green light, but the smile lingers.

You saw me in the grocery store, pasta, mushrooms, & assorted greens, but obviously dining alone.

At Borders you saw me tiptoeing to reach the books on the high shelves, smiling and humming to myself.. you say nothing, perhaps she's married, attached, or crazy (none true of course).

Another lazy Sunday you spied me in a little café down by the Quay, you silently hid beneath your ball cap, perhaps just shy.

Maybe I saw you.

Was it at the theater for a brief running of that independent film? Was it at Timbre as I enjoyed my pizza and wine, grooving to live music?

VideoEzy, was that you with the DVD tucked under your arm for a night alone?

How many times have our paths crossed, how many times have you wished I would introduce myself.

How many times did you wonder what I might be like to talk to or cuddle with?

I wondered the same about you.
