When I saw Kate
It was at one of those
Movie Musicals
The kinds like La La Land
Or The Greatest Showman,
That are either really good,
Or really bad.
Like Kate or me.
Really good.
Really bad.

But I still go to see them,
For the chance
That it's one of the really good ones.
A lot of people from school,
Think movie musicals are stupid.
Even if they're really popular.

So when I stepped into the theater,
I wasn't expecting to see Kate,
Coming out of the movie,
I was about to see.
She was with one of her friends.
She had a surplus of those.

I didn't know Kate's friend,
So I didn't expect her to acknowledge me.
Still, I was shocked when Kate waved.
She recognized me.
She admitted that she knew me.
I couldn't believe it.

But I sat by myself.
She didn't invite me to join her.
I struggled not to laugh,
When Kate dropped her popcorn bag.
I didn't want it so appear,
Like I had been watching them.

The next day at school,
Kate asked me how I liked the movie.
She remembered she'd seen me!
We chatted for awhile,
About how the main girl should never
Have let the guy pass by her.

I felt honored.
I didn't know why.
It shouldn't be such a big deal.
But it's not everyday
someone like Kate,
Talks to someone like me.

I mentioned the movie a while later,
When Kate figured out
How to play the theme song on piano By ear.
Another incredible feat.
I mentioned we saw each other there.
But she didn't remember seeing me.
