at a French patisserie. Your name was one that I’ve known so well, however it was unfamiliar. I’m glad you took your time to get my change, grazing my fingertips as you passed it on. I’m sure I’ll be back for a pastry or three, and I’d be happy to see your smoldering eyes again. Oh, and thanks for the napkins.
between gusts of freezing air
and hurried couples. Of course I noticed you, with your thick glasses and dark scruff, who wouldn’t. Don’t get me started with your outfit. A guy who cuffs his pants (properly and stylishly) and wears probably real leather brogues in real life? Swoon. I just wish it hadn’t taken me
three blocks too late to come up with an excuse to talk to you.
over tattered papers, under florescent lighting, and reading material I should have memorized weeks ago. I’ve seen you and your tortoise shell glasses before (oh those glasses) but not for the lucky amount of time as tonight. I hope you do well on your math/science/engineery test. Missed Connections me?
among paperback spines, decorated bindings, and feathered pages. Between the thousands of tales of love and loss, I found your smile. ..To be honest though, I noticed you right when you walked in.
with a coffee-sipping fellow on the side of the sidewalk. You had a cup sitting across from you, but no one filling it. I’d gladly join you for a cup or two, even if it makes my stomach hurt. On second thought, maybe I’ll take tea.
with a total stranger, everything unknown besides five (or six) letters. Your soft rasp and boyish sounds caught me attention; I sure did listen and learn. Maybe I’ll find you again someday, press the correct 1-2-4. Oh, and if you ask if I have any more questions, I certainly won’t hold back.

between the elbows, shoulders, and cokebottle glasses. I assume you with your unassuming cardigan wouldn’t be interested in me, but hey, I can dream, right? We could sit in parks; you could play for me while I scribble hurriedly in notebooks. We could be an adorably dressed team, you and I. Yes, you and I…
in the middle of the gyrating madness what was Bassnectar’s set. Locking eyes with you while shaking it to the beats made me feel higher. Thanks for assisting me in making the ground tremble and showing me how to use my elbows.
witht he guy behind me during Third Eye Blind. Thank you for watching out for me. I promise I would’ve been nicer to you that the gargantuan in the teal who was presumably with you. Hope to see you next concert, stepping on my heels.
I want to make this active, so, here are some oldies. Read: not “today” today..
