Me and My Crush

I glanced up from the bar while sipping on my drink when you trotted down the steps from the patio. I had been waiting there for half a hour or so...just hoping to see you...you were wearing a washed-out blue cap pulled down over your brows and had grown a scruffy salt and pepper beard. Our eyes met and I flashed my smile (everyone always compliments my smile, so I knew that was the one thing I had going for me). Immediately I saw that smirk of yours--the one I'd only seen on the big screen, vhs, dvd, and tv...Yes, although it's been nearly 30 years when my crush developed, that expression on your face wooed me. Oh my God, you were there just a few feet from me. All I was hoping was to see you across the room and I actually received a moment, a gift, your smile...Then you darted into the men's room. I sat there smiling with my son, the bartender, while he had a good laugh with me/ at me...I giggled like a school girl...Then your next appearance was a couple of minutes later and a few feet from me. I heard you speak--and kept thinking to myself--yippee-ki-yeah! You talked with the staff and to us as a group without cracking a smile until you looked at me. Again, I flashed my smile and you gave me yours. After saying your good bye, you hurrily walked with a familiar gate, out the door and I could say out of my life; however, i'm not kidding myself--you won't remember me--BUT how about that! Yes, there was time that I could of asked for more (autograph or picture), but that would have probably been more than my 50 year old heart could take on my son's 28th birthday. I'm definitely a die hard fan of yours!
