That one night when I met you
The lights were dim
And I could barely make out any thing
You were the only thing I saw
The only dazzling brightness in the whole room
I was with my sister
Not like she understood
She never fell in love
But I did
When I saw you
When you looked away
I saw faint, permanent black letters on the back of your jean pocket
Probably written by some preppy girl with a Sharpie
And they spelled out “I LOVE YOU SCOTT”
That was how I learned your name
At night
I couldn’t sleep
Thoughts of you
Circled around in my head
Scott, Scott, Scott
What a lovely name
The next morning
I woke up
And as if in a trance
I jumped out of bed
And glided down the steps to the kitchen
I baked pancakes that day
Flipping the circular pieces of dough
With my silver fork
Which glistened in the light
And with the syrup
I spelled out your name
Just as I was about
To indulge myself
In the Scott Pancake
The doorbell rang
I ran to get it
And it was you
Right there
In front of me
Then you asked if my sister was home
And that was the end of me
