Challenge
Write about an awkward situation you experienced between you and someone you liked.
Prose, poetry, or anything is accepted. Can be a high school crush or a long-time love. 500 words max
A chance encounter from the past.
Through crowded streets
Arm in arm
With hearty beats
In lovers charm,
We walk together, lazy browsers,
Laughing at the flares on trousers.
Thinking of no one but us,
Mulling getting eats...
I see a boy I used to know,
But now he is a man.
We stop, alas, to say hello,
Without a solid plan.
Stammering we get by greeting,
Each of us regretting meeting,
Both him and I ashamed of youth
...and flirting in that van.
