candles

tonight was good

i love candles
i love guitars
i love the kaples


i knew i should have talked to that boy.. i dont know his story, i dont know where he came from.. but as soon as i walked in i noticed him. i asked amanda hey, do you know him? where's he from? what's his name? but she didnt know and i didnt follow up on it... instead, i went into the other room, grabbed a cup of coffee... and he walked right out the door. but what gets me is, on top of the fact that i didnt even reach out in the first place.. i spent way too long deliberating whether or not to go after him. i had all sorts of excuses. its almost dark, its downtown, hell be back, hes probably just smoking, maybe he had to make a phone call, maybe he just needed some air, etc etc etc

deep breath

i have a feeling i couldnt have handled it anyway
regardless, i should have said something,
i should have offered, a hello
an introduction
anything

and i missed it

grant, youre amazing
