"I met you at the bookstore" by Julia McKinney




I met you in the bookstore


Saw you in the bookstore

Sitting alone on your phone

Thought that if I sat with you

You wouldn’t feel so alone

Wondering if someone sent you roses

Or a thoughtful note

Something to let you know that you

Are

Never

Alone

Drifting across the avenue

Through and Through

In the bookstore that was

When I first met you

Past the bookstore

That day you seemed so bored

Still thinking about those moments

Wondering how much time you could afford

If you'd spare some for me

So together we could never be lonely

Sitting in the bookstore writing poetry

-Julia McKinney, sophomore
