There it was
Peeking from under the door
A little corner of a red envelope
Got me curious as I extolled that shade of red
Who could it be?
What could it have hidden?
I was surprised
At myself
What was I expecting it to be hiding?
I had you, I have you
Then why was I expecting something …. anything?
Why could I hear my heart beat?
Why were the door keys slipping?
I picked it up
Slumped into the couch
It was hard to look away
From the red
That shade of red
I was in a fix
I had you, I have you
Why do I still want to open it, I thought?
Ah! You never sent me a red envelope
No, not that shade
I opened it
I am sorry, I am so sorry.
