A moment in traffic

The traffic light turns red.
I brake and stop.
Another bike pulls up next to mine. I look aside. I want to say hi. I want to say nice bike.
But he looks straight ahead. His stare hidden behind a dark visor.
I look at him.
He stares ahead.
I stare ahead.
The traffic light turns green.
He is gone.
The moment is gone.
My smile is gone.
