page 14 [found]

I stepped outside the ladies room and saw you leaning on the wall, talking on the phone with someone who apparently was responsible for the sexy grin on your face. It seemed you were talking to someone you liked but it wasn't me.

You looked nice in the light blue shirt and jeans; blue looks good on you but it doesn't feel good in me or was I feeling green with envy for whomever's voice was making you smile. Nonetheless, I passed you by pretending to be interested in the conversation I was having.

maybe if you would have gotten off the phone for me i might have given you another reason to smile ;) or so I thought to myself as I left you behind.

My buddies used to tell me, then girls confirmed: It's true.
In another twenty minutes, you'll see,
the "C" bus will pass back through.

there's art and an art to enjoying eye candy. though sweet, it can be tasted, without leaving any unfilled cavities in its wake.
whose loss is it, after all?

I think blue looks good on you, too, as you write this. Green is there, too, but if green is life, then jeolousy is life as well.

Even with the best rates on long-distance, he was wasting his money in the wrong place. Is that a little bit of steam I feel from your blood boiling? You should have smiled back at him and made his phone melt in his hands.

Wow. How painful. I am often bit with the jealousy bug. And it hurts. Nothing else like it.

The games we play...

Maybe he was focused on you and trying to make you jealous.

Or maybe he knew that you knew that he knew...

Or maybe...

I like your incorporation of colors: the blue shirt, green with envy. You portrayed the mood very well, the longing, hope, self-pride. Very relatable.

p.s. My editor's eye couldn't help notice that you in the last to lines, you left an f off of the word off, so that it reads of.

Look at me again,
And see my smile,
Then maybe you'll see
That it's taking me the same effort to smile
As that not to hold to the phone
While you're passing so close by!
