1.
A glance, a smile
Across the room
Coffee shop fades away
Into the mind
A story goes
And brightens up her day
She had been lost
No hope could see
No lover’s arms surround
In a moment
All could change
A love twinge may be found.
2.
Now in the room
Sits perfect chance
To start with hope anew
To find with luck
His smile as well
If only could be true
She looks but sees
He has removed
Himself from place across
Her heart now falls
In broken mess
Upon the floor in loss
3.
Dreams are dashed
She will return
To evenings all alone
Sit and wonder
What comes next
To anguish and bemoan
She starts to leave
And looks outside
At day now without care
Then some words
Do greet her ears
“I did not want to stare”
4.
She turns and sees
To her delight
Her hoped-for standing near
“I thought you’d gone”
Is her reply
It leaves her mouth so dear
His grins release
His love inside
“You had me with your smile.”
Now, years have pass’d
But love still flows
“I do” well past the aisle.
