Stranger Friends

I see you:

you are with your friend chatting aways.

You and your friend

are sitting together in the brown sofa.

You seemed engaged in the conversation

while your friend is drinking his cup of drip coffee.

 

He’s trying his best

to stay onto the conversation

with you but his phone is going off,

every few minutes.

You continue to engage the conversation

until the waitress brings you

and him your waffles with strawberries.

 

You took your plate

and ate them instantly while he’s still on his phone.

You were beyond disappointed at him:

today was supposed to be about each other;

not you, him and the phone.

 

Quietly you ate,

and left your plate by the table with the lamp.

You pulled out your iPhone 15

and went onto your Amazon account

to check if your packages have arrived to your house,

and to use that as an excuse to leave.

The beautiful Calvin Klein black turtle neck you have on

shows your dark and lonely mood.

 

For a few minutes,

you and him were on your phones,

yet you both known each other since 2017.

This is the first time you both appeared as strangers.

Its ironic because you both arrived as best friends

and left as strangers

not looking at each other at all.
