"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

I should never have asked, it would have been so much more fun to imagine that something unexplainable and mysterious happened, its the romantic in me. :)

Oh well, thanks for clearing that up Allen.
