i did
but what if
i didn't say hello
because i lacked the courage
and you left, laughing
in some other woman's arms
that cold December night
when i saw you at the bar
do you remember
i melted
like the ice in your bourbon
you kept looking my way
patiently waiting
eyes glittering hungrily
And i could see
you wanted me
instead of her
I smile nervously
but
i still don't know
how do i get you alone
how do i say hello
from across the room
I feel you stare
the question hanging in the air
what if

I especially liked the reading in reverse, as it ends on that wistful note when you realise she didn’t talk to her and it’s too late. In the first reading then, is she with the girl but musing on what might have happened had she not talked to her? “ i melted like the ice in your bourbon” is a great line 👏 Nicely done Sara!
