bummer, you went and flagged it again.
must have a lot going on to sit on missed connections.
last night I had a craving for something sweet
so I went down the street to get myself a treat
decided on ice cream, well actually gelato
I walked in the door and saw you
and felt like I just won the lotto
it had been a year since my last visit
and the setup is new
or back to the old, it depends on your view
there was no longer a wall between us
or talking through the intercom
so I eagerly waited in line behind two kids & their mom.
while they took their time deciding which flavor
I thought to myself “what will I say to her?”
I was in the batters box, waiting on deck,
then I heard a door open
and saw someone appear in the back.
while the folks to my front had taken their sweet time,
others had come in and now there was a line.
that person from the back was a middle-aged man
and as I watched him walk toward me
I realized that fate had stomped on my plan.
while I had stood there waiting
it occurred to me maybe
you were the sweet little thing
I had come subconsciously
hoping I might see.
if you should read this and know that its you
and those silent yearning gazes were actually true
then write me back and say its a go
because last night I had to settle for gelato.
