Tonight

In a cafe.
He tapped the microphone.
There was a feedback.
The guitarist strummed. He hummed.

I scanned through the pages of my magazine.
Looking at pictures, pretending to be interested in the articles written.
When all I want to do is stare and sing along.

He sang from the heart.
He bared his soul.
I continued looking down to the pages that meant nothing.
Nodding to the beat of his song.

I could have looked.
I could have smiled.
I could have even sang up there with him in the spotlight.

Instead, insecurities stepped in and got the best of me -- as they always do. Always.
