I'm sitting at a table by myself, playing ukulele because my friend left it when he left me alone at a table, and she walks by, and she smiles at me, and I stop playing because I'm shy, and she asks if she can listen to me play, and she sits down, and I play and it sounds awful because I'm nervous, but she claps, and she laughs because her clap sounds so lonely, and the combination of those two sounds is the most amazing thing I've ever heard, and the crinkles by her eyes (her astonishingly green eyes) make me blush, then she tells me her name and it sounds like the only true thing I've ever heard, and I ask for her number and she gives it to me, and I watch her leave, hoping she'll look back and smile, but she doesn't and it makes me like her even more,
And my mind tortures me with these memories that never happened and wishes that went unfulfilled, And I will never love anyone more than I love the girl with the clap that echoes through my veins and the name that sounds like truth.
