Missed Connection

From the back of the room, I saw you there
Standing alone with your long brown hair
Eyes looking like the deepest sea
Suddenly they looked at me
For a moment, time stood still
You covered the distance from the window sill
In my head, words rushed around
When I opened my mouth, nothing came out
And what music played in the background of the room?
What was the day, the hour, the minute too?
I wish you’d stayed, you’re leaving far too soon
So far away but always in view
At night, I think of you
Do you think of me too?
I guess I didn’t catch her name
She had no phone, no one night fame
She liked to write short poetry
Draw buildings that grew on her street
And so we saw the morning in
Greeted the rays the sun did bring
Out the door, the empty streets
She turned to me and kissed my cheek
And what music played in the background of the room?
What was the day, the hour, the minute too?
I wish you’d stayed, you’re leaving far too soon
So far away but always in view
At night, I think of you
Do you think of me too?
Oh at night, I think of you
Do you think of me too?
