"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.

Just got back home in my hometown. Before I got here, I spent the night in Austin and went bar hopping with my bro and his best friend. Im a bit of a conservative guy, but I can see why one would find Austin appealing. They’ve got a cool night life, though their tacos are mediocre compared to here in the Rio Grande Valley.

Well anyways, I should just chill out and get some rest. I travel again on the 15th, to The Philippines. I'll keep in touch.
thanks for sharing; interested in reading about Philippines too. I was asked to go on vacation there with 2 families.
