You stood clutching your bright orange umbrella on a packed L train, reading Murakami and smiling shyly when our eyes met. I was the guy with the blue headphones who almost missed his stop watching you laugh at your book. Coffee sometime, if fate lets our commutes cross again?

You played guitar at the far end of the car while I tried not to break into applause with my coffee in hand. Our eyes met as the train screeched into Jay St—did you feel the rhythm too?

We stood shoulder to shoulder, waiting for the 2 train as rain tapped on your bright umbrella. You smiled and let me share the edge, but the train was packed and we lost each other in the crowd. If you remember the guy with the navy blue scarf, let’s try again—maybe over coffee this time?

We locked eyes as the train jerked between 14th and West 4th; your blue scarf slipped off and I handed it back with trembling hands. I wanted to say more, but the doors parted us—maybe fate will reunite us above ground.

You played an acoustic version of “Wonderwall” while I nervously tapped my MetroCard. Our eyes met as you sang the chorus, but I got off at DeKalb and never got your name.

We argued about the best New York pizza spot all the way from Atlantic Ave to 34th St. I had to get off before we could agree — let’s settle this over a slice?

We exchanged glances between Bedford and 1st Ave, your green beanie standing out in a sea of commuters. I wanted to compliment your book choice, but the crowd swept me away at Union Square. If you remember the girl with paint-splattered jeans, coffee’s on me.

We both reached for the same overhead strap as the train jolted, and laughed when our hands brushed. You were reading a dog-eared copy of "The Goldfinch". I wish I'd asked your name before you got off at Canal Street.
