you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me

she saw him there... her heart skipped a beat. it was expected and it shocked her anyway. he smiled at her... she wanted to run away as much as she wanted to run into his arms. if only she could go back in time, one month.. maybe two. then she could throw herself into his warm embrace without a second thought. today was different. oh well. ignoring him hurt... she hugged the girls and laughed with the ladies... trying to look as put-together and calm as possible. her heart beat faster as he came closer. she felt his presence near her, and something pulled her gaze towards his. staring and smiling, she felt happy for a moment. he looked untouched by the situation. exchanges of "hey" and "how are you" passed quickly. time had slowed down... she almost wanted it to stop altogether. they sat down and she regained her composure. sitting together was awkward for her... it just felt... different. well they talked, they smiled, they were just happy for the time being. afterwards, they stood together in the warm sunshine and finally let their feelings out... but now they are happy. everything will be ok... even if her heart never mends. she will always be happy knowing that the piece of her heart that is missing will forever be in his possession.
