I saw the look on your face
when he walked past and smiled.
I saw the secret flush glow your skin
when his cologne drifted over our table.
I saw your legs squeeze together
the way the do when you're thrilled.
I watched you go to powder your face
and knew that you would be different
whenever you left the ladies' room.
I watched as you walked with
a self-conscious but sexy swerve
tipping lightly between tables
being careful not to appear inelegant.
I watched you talking to the man
who passed leaning casually against
the bar, smiling, with your hand on his.
I saw you laugh and then glance my way
and notice there had been a change.
When you finish reading this note,
look out the window and
watch me drive away.
