second guessed smile

picture this:

sitting all by herself
on the arm of a couch
is the girl that could very well
remove any doubt that i have
about letting myself drown.

but just as i approach
her gaze catches mine
and then smiles past my shoulder
to whoever she was looking for
now brushing past me
as i sta in disbelief
when i hear him say,
"nice to meet you. i'm trey."

that could've been me
now sharing hopes and dreams
if only i hadn't second guessed
a smile meant for me.
