Should I Say Hae

Yesterday I saw you a new, didn’t think it was someone I knew, such beautiful faces are few. You looked as good as new. You looked like some famous girl I didn’t know. But how comes no boys were fighting if only to say Hae no paparazzi were following you with cameras. Somebody give me a camera I’ve got myself a new job, wouldn’t mind following you around for the rest of my life.
But no, it seems I wasn’t seeing right, maybe my eyes were not getting enough light. So, I brushed them with my hands, then I noticed they were not clean enough to say hae, I rubbed them against my clothes. Then I realized, my shirt was untucked, as fast as I could, I tucked it in only to realize my zip was undone. I was perplexed, hypnotized and embarrassed all at the same time. But I had come too far to give up now, too embarrassed to walk away now, too weird to go without hello.

So with a few more steps to go, I let go and set myself free, from the fear of being rejected, maybe I was stepping into a land mine, headed for a suicide mission, but you looked worth dying for. Whuuu! I breathed, what can probably go wrong? I encouraged myself.

Approaching a beautiful girl had never been easier, I had that weird feeling that marrying couples allegedly have just before their spouses say I do. Although they know she or he will probably say YES they can’t help but wonder. What if he says no, what if she changes her mind, I will be embarrassed in front of all these people…what will I do?

I carefully calculated my steps, one, two, three, four…. five steps I estimated. So carefully like a soldier I took my first, second, third and fourth steps….

Then I walked away.

How could I probably have said hae, when she looked so beautiful, how could I introduce myself n keep my dignity and my manly ego alive…I did what every sound minded man would have done, I walked away.
You never say hae to your Ex when they look much better than you.
