... and one day there will be a girl that will take the words, "You make me nervous" as a compliment...

... and when she smiles, she will be smiling at the slightly balding spot on the top of my head while I'm staring at my shoe laces and remembering how I learned to tie a double knot while watching a 'Dirty Harry' movie with my Dad when I was five...

... and I'll ask myself, "Is male pattern baldness a genetic 'disease?'"

... and then I will look up and she will be staring straight into my placid blue eyes. And we won't speak, but we will make love and then sit under an apple tree. And while soaking in the shade she will ask, "I thought you said you were nervous?"
