I saw him today.
I've been anticipating his arrival for a week now. He only came today, ten minutes early. Wasn't what I was expecting. Better. The smile was what got me. The smile and the fact that he was a "man."
Too bad I wasn't there. Too bad I tried to help, but had to keep a distance for the fear of being crushed. Too bad he only saw me as an ant, caring too much on my shoulders for my height, my weight.
I tried to be more than the "help." "Thanks, you're very helpful." The parting line.
Maybe he'll be back.
