We sat supping cheap pints

Awkwardly on low stools

Faces warmed by an open fire

Various Louises' on the wall

Your hair was perfect

I know now mine was too long
We spoke and spoke and spoke

And I hoped those words would become a song

I swear you once said to me on an escalator
"Would anyone notice if we kissed?"
I think I panicked. I think I blinked

The moment had been missed.

So we didn't kiss
I was probably all joviality
All loud
All rowdy

I bet you don't remember
Maybe you'd say it wasn't you
But at that moment I wanted to
And at that moment it was true.
