The Rain Outside My Window

There used to be a bar and sandwich shop in Portland, called Bogart's. They served sandwiches named after different Humphrey Bogart movies, and the menu explained the ingredients and related them to each film in some way. They were on the second floor of a downtown mall, and friends worked in a shop on the next floor up in the mall. Whenever I sit in a coffee shop watching the street through the rain, my heart remembers afternoons in that restaurant, drinking coffee and waiting for a girl I have a crush on to join me for lunch.
