the moment she caught my eye

she was beautiful.

that was the first thing i knew

right in that moment

when she made her debut

i remember her gold hoops

and the tarnished opal ring

she reached into the back pocket

of light baggy levi jeans

she wasn't wearing any lipgloss

but her eyes were brightly orange shaded

colors like a sunset and i knew it wanted more and

i

waved

i think i waved

maybe it looked more like a swat

maybe she assumed it was a fly

but she still looked

and that's the thought

so i said "hi"

good think i’m sitting

otherwise i would’ve fallen

i was swooning, goofy grinning

anything to keep her stalling

her voice smooth but with a rasp

she said "hello", i said it back

and then she laughed

“do i know you?”

i smiled back

“well now you do”

she said

“you said hi to me twice”

i said

“hi how do you do”

it was a banter

that you dream about

where everything just clicks

and you’re making the right jokes

like the good part in the chick flicks

then she looks up

at the time

and you know she has to go

but she asks you for your number

and you juke her with a 'no'

then you reach into your jacket and you hand over your phone

and she texts herself a list of different dips and chips to buy

then she winks and hand my phone back

til' we meet again

goodbye.
