| | this is how it would happen if it could
i would walk into that little white restaurant with the crooked ceiling and the pealing paint.
it would be sunny outside, with just a few clouds
and a breeze.
i would look cute, but not as though i tried
my hair would be a little messy from the wind at the door
and i would carry a book
a good one
an old one perhaps.
tom sawyer.
i would be by myself
cuz i've never done that before
but i have always admired the ones who can do things by themselves
and not care
i would order chamomile tea with honey
not coffee, because coffee is easy
and if i wanted coffee...i would be at starbucks
i would not worry about what anyone thought of that
you wouldn't be the waiter
it would be someone else.
you wouldn't look at me as if i could tell
but you would when i didn't notice
you'd wonder
if you should talk to me
but you wouldn't
because you never have
but somehow you'd work up the courage
and when you weren't busy,
you'd come by and sit at my table
and ask me what i was reading
and you'd like it
because you dont like to wear shoes either
i know that about you
but i dont know you at all
i probably would smile
and maybe this time
my mind wouldn't go blank
and i wouldn't feel stupid in front of you
and you wouldn't try to make me feel worthless
and maybe this time
you'd look into my eyes
with out wondering where else you had to be
or who else you had to talk to
or who else you needed to impress
maybe you'd just be there
with me
and maybe you'd ask to go for a walk when you got off
and i would say yes
and we'd walk around town and back again
and talk
about everything we always should have talked about
and you'd laugh at my stupid jokes
and you'd notice the person you never noticed before
the one who followed you here
on accident
this weather makes me think that something could come out of nothing
or that things are there that really aren't
i had a dream you kissed me, but it doesn't mean a thing
because i don't even know you
i'm probably looking for something tangible
and somehow i looked for it in mystery
even though i'll never find it
and maybe never should
if i run into you tomorrow
i might not talk to you
i probably won't
and even if we did talk
it wouldn't be the same
the mystery was always better than the reality
even tho
i always thought
we'd make great friends
