Her & I

She is with her boyfriend
He is neglecting her
Talking to his boys instead

I am with my girlfriend
She is neglecting me
Chatting away on the phone

I feel her staring at me
I turn and look
She smiles, I smile back

She gestures with her eyes
Then stands and heads to
the washroom. I follow

It is quick but enjoyable
We are smiling as we get back
They didn't even notice our absence
