I meet her at starbucks
Enraptured by her features
With dreamy eyes she
Has me star struck
Captured each time I see her
Lips that remind me of pillows
And hair that hangs like
Weeping willows
Along her shoulders
Asked if anyone told her
Today how gorgeous she is
How intelligent she is
And being in her presence
Is the air that’ll help them live
Well let me be the first to
Offer you that positive
What I wouldn’t give
To have more time
As I push that thought
To the back of my mind
Because time is an opponent
Our fingers interlocked
And we’re inches from each
Others face our lips touch
And It closes out the space
That makes us look forward
To this embrace
And we just live in this moment
Because this moment is all we have
She giggles I laugh
Then the mood turns sad
We look at the clock and grasp
Each other like it’s the last
We’ll see of each other
Because we both belong to another
But can’t fight the feelings
With which we’re dealing
Although we’re not lovers
The strength of our bond
Is far beyond the norm
She’s the calm to my storm
And I’m that the one she looks upon
When she’s feeling torn
But tomorrow she’ll order
Another of those coffees
With a name I
Can’t pronounce and I’ll order
Hot green tea
And we’ll discuss the number
3
And sit over in the corner
On the couch just thinking about
How good it feels to just be…
