We convince ourselves of so much conversation that is hypothetical. Why not speak? Ah, but I have spoken and learned why not. ha. It is a life lesson and one we should take with a grain of salt. Poets tend to take life overly seriously at times. We even take ourselves too seriously. this poem reminded me to be brave and speak; to be curious and seek truth.
Sometimes our lack of faith makes us hesitant and we miss the opportunity. Remember, luck favours the brave.
Having said that, it is a fact that presence of people can hinder "progress".
Overall a very lovely poem. Well done

Sorry for the late reply, I was on a trip. Thanks for your review.
You're describing a situation I've never experienced, but I can almost feel the way it might feel, your simply-stated observations are described with such clarity & imagery. Just when the guy gets up the nerve to approach her, some annoying kid disrupts the perfect moment. An ordinary situation made extraordinary by your originality.
