We’ve locked eyes but never met,
so I hope this isn’t weird;
I got your number from a restaurant.
The table; you left a receipt on the table.
Heavy breathing caught me in my feelings.
No, I didn’t search for your address;
don’t be silly; I just did a background
check.
Rather creepy? I thought so, too.
What creeps me out more is falling for someone,
someone I don’t even know.
Could it be fate? That’s what I thought.
I tossed around the idea and phoned you,
wondering what you think inside your head.
For once, I should listen or care what
someone thinks.
