After All These Years
My hand nervously opens the wooden door, letting me inside. My lungs strain to breathe. My heart stops when my eyes see him sitting at the same old table we so often sat at so long ago. My feet want to flee, but my heart, now beating once more, however unsteadily, directs me towards that dark, secluded corner once again after all these years.

My eyes see her coming, there's no place to run. The crowd blocks her path; my feet tingle at the chance for escape, but my heart keeps me rooted where I am, anxiously awaiting her arrival. My breath trembles as she stands before me and our eyes meet once again after all these years.
