Yes,... I noticed you
You were pretty enticing,..
more sophisticated
than the place
where we found ourselves

You must have noticed
I was talking
to the unattractive
musician
getting ready
to start her gig

Maybe you didn't notice
that we talked
like the old friends
that we are

Maybe you missed
the fact that
the only reason I was here
was to say hello
to her.

Yes,..
I did see
the finger moving
across your throat
with your back turned
toward the musician
when I suggested
that she should play

No,..
I wasn't expecting
to  enjoy the music
I just came to say hello
to someone I valued

An act which
I could never imagine
repeating for you
