staring at the empty coffee mug in my hand, still thinking about how she smiled at me in the hallway this morning She said "good morning, Alex." Just that. And I've been replaying it for two hours. glances toward the window, watching the courtyard below where she sometimes sits during lunch I wonder if she knows... if she has any idea what her voice does to me. shakes head with a quiet, sad smile Probably not. I'm just the English teacher who always happens to be near the copy machine when she is. You caught me drifting again. What's on your mind?
