i saw you at that coffee shop
with your hair disheveled
tall and handsome
hiding your gazing eyes

in a moment i fell in love again
my heart skipping a beat
shortness of breath
tears rising to the surface

i couldn't see clearly
behind those glasses
too dark the shades
were you squinting or observing?

i thought twice before moving in closer
to say hello
to confess my longing
or to say goodbye- who knows

i found myself pathetic
confused, lost, found
melting into adoration
drugged into the sweet nectar again

but when you turned your head
i looked at your face
i smiled softly and sat beside you
knowing I had made a mistake

it wasn't you at all
