Awkward

Yesterday I was on the bus and Jesus took the empty seat next to me.
We hadn’t talked in a while, and we still were not talking.
I stared out of the window, and he kept glancing at me, hoping to get some affirmation to start a conversation.
I was too occupied these past 2 weeks in the army to think or care about anything else.
I was hoping that once I got out I could spend time with him.
But it had been a while.
And it felt awkward to.


Silence.


I tried to take a step.
I put on my Christian music and he began to speak.
But I was not listening.
I didn’t feel close to him, and I didn’t feel like being close to him.


So all through the journey
The 2 of us sat side by side
But we didn’t talk
Or listen
