A Neglected Embrace

After my third drink, I switched to coffee. As I lit a cigarette, I noticed her from across the bar.

A smile flashed in my direction. It was soft, demure, and sweet.

Pain in my heart; I thought to myself, “She’ll never know.”

She walked out of the bar.

    Daron this is awesome! I can feel for that neglected individual! You should write part two to the story… : D

    Only a few words, but they impress the readers heart and keep at least my brain open to “alternatives”. Only a few words of “loneliness”, and you’ve said it all. Well done, Daron!
