Dear Drummer Boy

The way you play makes me smile

The way you bob your head to the beat

The way you glance up from the set when you scan over the small group of spectators

And we lock eyes

And time stands still

For me

I know your name, Drummer Boy

And I'm not sure if you know mine

And the man shut it all down

But I remember the last night

You asked me, "You like this song, right?"

"Yeah." I reply, shocked.

"Cool. What's your name again?" And I told you.

Now I know you know my name, if you care to remember it

But then my heart swelled and broke at the same time

As I realized

That was our first and last conversation

Drummer Boy, the man shut us down

But now I think I see you in the street

And I think about you when I hear love songs

And apparently, at 3:20 AM

And I wonder if you do the same

Probably not

Love (?), the socially awkward girl who'd always sit in the second row.

P.S.

I think I might love you
