first of all, love the pic. I really love everything about this poem, the questions and self-doubt, the openness to the magnetism, the messiness in the bar in hoodies, the details that bring the scene to life, and most of all, the killer ending:

It’s almost cruel,

That I couldn’t have sat there forever with you.
