    He said:
    We have five years' worth of coffee to catch up on
    I'll get there early to spot you
    (Before you see me)
    It's certainly about time we
    Got together
    I'll be the only one in the place wearing a tie
    There'll be a book on the table
    In front of me

    All true
    Except you
    Didn't appear to be reading when I arrived

    You didn't seem capable of embarrassment
    Outwardly unfazed
    By the assortment of people who stopped by
    To say hello and claim your acquaintance

    I was impressed despite myself

    Slowly overtaken by awkwardness
    Awareness of a connection
    Taking root between us
    Superseding
    Common sense

    Unable to blame it on
    One chocolate martini
    Too many

    The look in your eyes
    Full of ellipses

    Anchorless hurt
    Only hinted at

    And I wanted to hear all about it
    Listen to your narration
    Start to finish

    Jump right into your thoughts
    Puzzling at the alikeness
    Shared common interests

    Instead of hedging my bets
    On improved circumstances
    Taking place
    Sometime in the future

    Refusing dinner
    A way to split
    The emerging nexus
    Even though part of me craved
    The exploration

    Have imagined it
    Taking place
    Since
