Shall we?

A glass of whiskey and a bowl of chips, I was meandering in my solitude.

A bottle of beer, you were having a good laugh with your friends.

I gazed a moment longer than I should have and you caught that.

I let out a sigh and looked away, still feeling your gaze.

So I looked up again and I couldn't see anything but those eyes.

You walked up to me and greeted me with a 'hello.'

Munching on a chip, I replied, "hey".

You struggled to find words and what an adorable sight it was!

"Dance?" I blurted.

"Um, yea, sure," you replied.

A level of comfort ensued as we started to tap our feet and sway.

It was your favorite song, you told me as we danced.

Not too close, not too far. Catching each other's glances midway.

My grin knew no bounds.

"Karaoke begins now," they announced in the club and you pulled me up on the stage.

Something I would never do on my own.

We sang our hearts and throats out.

I giggled, you fumbled but we continued singing.

As the last song played, I was about to ask your name

but your friends barged out of nowhere and took you away.

You resisted but they pulled you away anyway.

I stood there, watching you as you kept turning back to catch a glance and the door shut.

It felt unreal.

I turned around and saw a half finished beer bottle.

I smiled and went back to my table, sipped on my whiskey and smiled a little more.
