A speaker spots a girl and starts imagining a whole future with her, long before they've exchanged a word. The poem begins with a small, practical goal: getting her phone number. Even the aside "I hope she has a phone" has a shy, joking tone. But the daydream quickly balloons. He pictures getting lost in her eyes and loving her for "more than a billion lifetimes," and says that losing himself in her smile might matter more than finding his dreams.
The mood is giddy, hopeful, and a little nervous. The casual language ("awesome," "like") makes him sound young and unpolished, while the broken, scattered line breaks mimic a racing, restless mind. By the end his focus narrows to her hands, described as cold, slim, and silken, "sober and serene." After all the big talk, what he really wants is a simple touch. The poem captures the rush of a crush, where one glance can feel like the start of an adventure.
