i wondered what sparked

her sudden change of heart

to talk to me.

but i wasn’t complaining.

she returned to her seat

and i could hear

their conversation resume

in heavy dutch.

i was curious

but luckily the language prevented

eavesdropping

otherwise i probably would have.



as Otousan and i were leaving

i caught her eye.

she smiled at me

and i smiled back

but i couldn’t help thinking

what does this mean?

are we just friends?

because if we were

i wasn’t sure how much longer

i could hold out

containing my feelings.

containing my feelings
