That Bus Ride, I knew

It was at that moment,

Sitting beside you watching you talk,

Listening to you speak,

Gazing at your mouth,

I knew.

The way you played with your hair as you listened,

Caressing your lips as you pondered,

Smiling so sweetly in agreement,

Laughing so politely to amuse me,

I knew.

I wished your heart could be mine

I wished I could be him

I wished for us to be alone

I wished for your love!

 Dancing in the middle,

The rain falling,

The lights shining,

She turns away,

looks back at me,

And let’s go

While our friendship was real,

My love was not.

The moment we set foot on that concrete pavement,

I knew.
