Lady on the bus


Dear her, 

From when I first laid my eyes on you,

I could tell you were special. 

That smile,

That beautiful smile,

Lit my world up,

And shook my soul to the core.

Those eyes,

Those big brown eyes,

Saw through to my heart,

And healed my scars.

That laugh,

That gay full laugh, 

Filled my ears,

And brought upon laughter of my own.

When it came to your stop,

Those lips,

Those ruby red lips,

Pressed against my cheek..

And with that you had to go. 

You got off without saying a word.

You saved my life.

Until next time.
