She was waving back at me
Posted: 23/01/2026
I saw someone today at a musical, someone I hadn't seen for at least three months, and I was confused, because there's at least two of her, and I can't tell who is who, but I didn't wave back.
You were the one I once had a really nice conversation about scotland and travel while walking around the margaret mahy playground at 10:30pm, and you offered to buy me my ice cream, because I was totally going to walk out of the rollickin on new regents st without paying
Or you were the one who was waiting for hours in between sessions at a UN Youth event before I left early because I was starving myself at the time and couldn't go on
Either way, both of you have said hello to me twice now, and I didn't respond both times because I remain confused about my heart and don't want to drag more people into it.
