it may not be now

when you think of me.

you may not think 

of the way I laugh

at the small things

or the way I play 

with my earring when i'm nervous.

you don't notice these small things

about me.

but I hope

in years from now,

while you're sitting alone at a bar

waiting for someone to come along,

you'll realize

that I came along

but you missed the chance. 

you struck gold and left it.
