my record is stuck on this.
We met at a jazz bar
with salsa playing on the stereo
but he only dances modern
so i figure someday i'll teach him
how to back step pause
front step pause and
maybe he'll kiss me on the cheek.
That night we sat on a three-seat couch
all by ourselves
because everyone else had gone somewhere else
i was afraid he would leave
but he didn't even look up to see where they'd gone.
I told him i knew all the people he used to know
and was once exactly where he went and
i paused when
he brushed something from my hair
and went on
once he said a bashful 'sorry'
and i laughed a sorry 'it's okay.'
He said that he would take me
somewhere, i don't remember
and he knows all about the musicals
in town. I offered him a book i have.
He was embarrassed after rambling
and he asked me for my number
and if i would be around.
I like him so much
i hope he doesn't find out.
