How do I get you alone?

That chorus, man… Never have I gotten it more than I get it now.

How? How do I get you alone?

It's been my only thought this week.

Oh, I've been aching to talk to you alone for three years, but this is different. This…

This is an imperative. I have to. I need to. My heart demands it.

How do I get you alone?

My natural inclination is to try to talk to you about it in person, when I see you.

But that's dumb… I never see you alone. That's the whole point. The whole problem.

I worry about texting you. Probably needlessly. But I don't actually know how private your phone is.

Not that I'm proposing a tryst. Not… yet, at any rate. I just want to talk.

Well. To my great surprise, I have a few extra evenings to myself the last week of this month. I think it's all weekdays, which is… trickier. We'll see. And I don't even know whether it will matter or not. I know for certain at least one of those nights is out.

Or… hell… just an average evening, after 10 or so…

Or… how tight is your schedule in the morning? There are at least three coffee shops along the way…

sigh

Good lord I just need to talk to you. I need to hear your voice. But I also need…

We need to talk. We've reached a point where we need to.

If nothing else, we need to talk about how we can talk to each other.

Because waiting for fate to bring us together isn't going to cut it. Not anymore. Not that it ever did, really.

So, tell me…

How do I get you alone?

Yours,
