stranger (Free verse) by francis nor capule
the first time i saw her was at a waiting shade
in the central business district of the city where i worked
all eyes on her, maybe she was enjoying it too
a creature that God made, for ones heart to soar
i saw her again , at the same shade
with some friends, smiling all their cares away
possibly talking bout where to go that night
and my heart was really really glad to see her one more time
the third time i saw her, she was with someone else
he holding her hand, so proud
and she gently resting her head on his shoulders
how cruel the fates could be
how i wish i could go back to the very first time i saw her
and i have torn down the window
of the bus i was in
so that i might have at least tried...
how i wish i was able to tear down the bus window
that very first time, my mind full of what if questions
my heart empty, frozen like winter
but i have to take in everything and just leave...
the driver calls my stop
and it takes forever for me to get to my office
my heart full of regret
to wait, for an eternity perhaps?
