lunchwithastranger

a million thoughts were jumbled about
waiting to pass

i placed an order at the corner market
and as i waited i took a seat
always the observer
and i saw there a man
with his eyes fixed so on a beautiful young lady.

she occupied his thoughts and feeling
and she did nothing but flash a smile in his direction
but it was certainly enough
perhaps for the both of them

the sun was out but the chill hadnt left the air
and as my tea finally arrived
i noticed him walk her way

im certain he couldnt tell how hard she was trying to keep her wits about her
it was the funniest scene all day
and of all the people to pass meeh by
they were the ones i was drawn to

though they seem to have spoken few words
their smiles grew bigger and brighter
suddenly my tea was making meeh hot

they took a seat not too far from where i was sitting
i found myself torn between them and the pad my intentions were dedicated to
though my soup had finally arrived
there was no need for it

so i watched the new couple become friends
and it was the best lunch with a stranger id ever had
until the next time.
