538. If You Saw Me Under The Mistletoe

What would you do if you saw me at the Christmas party
standing alone under the mistletoe
seemingly lost in my thoughts
with a half full drink in my right hand

Would you seek to ignore me like I am not there
not giving a second glance in my direction
running out of the room so as not to meet my eyes
muttering excuses to all around

Would you pluck up the courage to come over and talk
despite being aware what is above my head
knowing that people would expect us to share a kiss
even if it meant nothing to either of us

I just want to know in advance
so I won’t be disappointed by how you react
if our eyes should meet at the Christmas party
and I’m standing alone under the mistletoe
