Locking eyes with a drunk man in front of me.
I blushed and I smiled and fumbled around.
Trying to avoid an inescapable gaze of sullen sincerity.
He pinned me easily,
Like he almost knew me.
I wasn't drinking, I could swear, but
His existence started to fade in and out
And in this state of altered vision
I began seeing pieces of you.
So I stood, locking eyes and dancing with this echoing version who,
For a minute I could have sworn,
Could feel you dancing too.
