Over the weekend, between work, playing shows, and making videos, I took time for something I’ve loved since I was a kid…fireworks. Denver may not have September fireworks often, but the Rockies are known for their incredible displays, even if their win record isn’t. I went to the game, soaking in the perfect early fall night and Oktoberfest downtown energy.
While filming, I met someone. A beautiful woman I joked and bantered with. Awkward as I am, I surprised myself by not fumbling the moment. I wanted to ask for her number, but I hesitated too long, and we went our separate ways. Later, I caught myself imagining the romcom version of what could’ve been.
That feeling turned into this poem “Never Had.” I recorded a voiceover, edited the video, and put it all together the minute I got home. Even though the story didn’t play out in real life, I got to capture it in words and film, which feels just as meaningful.
