... 10. I see you across the bar. I remember that quote about how 10 seconds of insane bravery is all it takes To make miracles happen. 9. I realize that I've got the quote wrong And that even insane courage would still leave me With the wrong words. 8. I take a sip of my Morgan Coke hoping it can give me the courage to say, "Hello." It's vanilla notes make me wonder What your hair smells like. 7. I realize that wondering what your hair smells like is a really strange thing to wonder about a stranger. 6. I think back to the courage sentiment. My friend finishes telling a joke. There is laughter. 5. 4. 3. I take another sip of my drink. The courage hasn't set in yet. Every love letter I've ever read comes rolling back through my mind. I begin to wish I was F. Scott Fitzgerald. I mean - have you seen the way he wrote to Zelda. That's how I want to talk with you. A romance that roars like 20's. A romance as obsessive as staring from the dock at a light across the water. A romance filled with speakeasy passwords to each other's most intimate thoughts. Our whispers will not be sweet nothings, but sweet somethings. And when we decide to sing, Well, I won't have the words to describe that either. 2. I am sitting at the bar. My friends are still laughing. I wonder what your laughter sounds like, And the courage hasn't set in yet. 1. 0.
