Why did I choose to sit by you?
I don’t want conversation or to get to know you.
I will read—in silence.
Like you, I won’t look up—
No bonding glance.
But,
Maybe you called out
To me.
A message to come and
Sit close by.
Nothing more.
Jacqui Townsend is just a wannabe writer. Everyday.
Congratulations 🎊 👏
Subtle and yet, powerful. Beautifully penned.
A lovely story about loneliness.
