"You have to get back out there he really likes you and wants to buy you a drink!"
This one was pre-approved by my friend A in the toilets of The Old Blue Last just as I put the phone down on a dissagreement with The Joy.

It was the most perfect night after what was becoming a situation that was going downhill fast. Everyone else & their petty issues melted away when he arrived by my side. We sat in the night and talked. He paced & I listened.
He told me how nervous he was of ruining everything and saying something stupid. He told me I was beautiful and that he knew I was different to other girls as soon as I started talking. He said I could have any guy if I wanted and couldn't understand why I was with him. He told me he had been searching forever for a girl that he could hold an interesting conversation with and understand him. He told me how refreshing it was to meet someone who was passionate about music and still naive about the business. He said I was charming. He talked about how inadequate he felt writing lyrics when he knew songs like Morrisey's existed. He told me he was going to be thinking about me all week & he thanked me.
& I listened. I don't think he realised how much of an impression he had made on me, instead he took my guitar case and led me home.
His words were stripped of pretense-desire & I will treasure them forever.
