another Christmas party full of acquaintances and a few mutual friends, and as im mingling around, in some jeans, sneakers, and a nice sweater, my hair styled and down, makeup done and natural.

as i mingle, across the way i see you, alone, sipping on some wine in your right hand, and my breathing almost halts for a second before i focus again, and gently, i made my way to you

as im about 5 feet away from you, a tall, dirty blonde man comes over and attaches himself to your hip, and you dont look very happy in general, so i decide against my better judgement, and i introduce myself to you
