I used to look for you
in public places

wondering what it’d be like
to see you

Would we be like the couple
behind us?

Lost in a lover’s gaze
sharing chips

Or would our conversations
also grow old

The man in the front pews
the dad in the stands

One time it really was you
I kid you not

I stared longer knowing
you had changed

But now we just go out
the same couple

No longer looking for love
or for you
