tonight

Alone in my room,
uncertain if my feelings,
are irritation or relief,
when the neighbor's door slams.
Ah - I am not alone,
but to you completely unknown,
our gazes never
had a chance to meet,
between us is a wall so
thin I tiptoe when I remember,
and I wonder
if you hear me breath,
and if your heart
is as lonely as mine,
or too busy to feel anything at all.
Strange how thin a barrier
can keep out my heart.

Days until I go home.
