before :: after

and your voice got deeper (it seems) in these few months since we've spoken;

i walk out of the dining hall, i haven't timed this intentionally, you're

right in front of me.

i wonder if you'll hold the thick glass door open,

i wonder if you'll nonchalantly pull back your holding hand and let it close behind you onto me...

you don't, though,

and i acknowledge the gesture with a mumbly 'thank you'

which you may or may not have heard.
