For the old times sake

"When two previous lovers bump into each other after a long span since their breakout. ."

"FOR THE OLD TIMES SAKE"

He skips a beat. .

She just clears her throat.

For the old times sake. .

He waves. .

She responds.

For the old times sake. .

He greets. .

She nods.

For the old times sake. .

'So?' says he. .

'Great' says she.

For the old times sake. .

She goes past him.

He asks to wait. .

For the old times sake. .

He asks for the number. .

She gives.

For the old times sake. .

He piles on further,

She stares blank.

For the old times sake. .

He tries to reach out to her,

She retreats.

For the old times sake. .

He goes to his knees. .

And she walks past her past.

For the old times sake. .
