ย
It was the end of your second date
Everything was going well
ย
You were walking to the train station
Imagining a parting kiss by the turnstiles
His fingers tracing patterns on your spine
ย
But as you passed beneath a streetlight
He suddenly stopped
A look of horror flashed over his face
He pulled away
And never returned your calls
Months later
You remembered something
ย
At the end of a wild night
On the roof of a hotel
You shared a taxi with a man that you didn't know
And would never see again
ย
He had a purple stain on his forehead
ย
It smelled like beets and vinegar
ย
He'd gotten used to it
He didn't know it was there
He couldn't understand why you leaned away
And pressed yourself against the window
ย
