THE GIRL IN THE COFFEE SHOP

Your eyes sparkle like diamonds
Your voice is mesmerizing
I spend half of my day
Alone with my thoughts
Admittedly, fantasizing …. about you
The girl in the coffee shop.

I watch you everyday
You walk in, always carrying a book
You sit by yourself
I can’t help myself
I stare and I look ….at you
The girl in the coffee shop.

My friends tell me…. “Talk to her”,
But I’m too shy, too intimidated
Afraid you might know
Afraid you could tell
That I’m totally infatuated … with you
The girl in the coffee shop.

I watch you sip your coffee
Read your book….page by page
Wishing that I….
Could talk to you
But I wouldn’t know what to say… to
The girl in the coffee shop.

One day, you turned and smiled at me
I offered to buy you coffee
Hoping this might
Just break the ice
And, you’d want to get to know me
The girl in the coffee shop.

We sat and talked for hours
Realized it was getting late
I walked you home
You held my hand
You were wonderful, you were great
The girl in the coffee shop.
