The Man I Wanted, but couldn't have
<p>I think it was just yesterday,</p><p>At the grocery store down the street</p><p>I met this guy, whose gaze sure swept me off my feet.</p><p>I barely got a chance to know his name,</p><p>But I couldn't forget his scent,</p><p>Or his beautiful brown eyes and handsome face.</p><p>I remember it all -</p><p>The little conversation we had when he bumped me</p><p>"I'm sorry", he said and the rest went on in my head</p><p>Then, I couldn't seem to react</p><p>Or was I too stunned to even move?</p><p><br/></p><p>And off he went like nothing happened</p><p>-----</p><p>I prayed for a miracle,</p><p>Maybe a reason to feel again</p><p>I'd never once believed in love at first sight,</p><p>Yet, I spent nights dreaming of this unfriendly stranger</p><p>I walked past that street everyday,</p><p>Randomly shopping for groceries I didn't need</p><p>Just wanting to see his face again.</p><p><br/></p><p>And one day, on my way back from "<em>doesn't matter</em>"</p><p>I felt the wave of a familiar scent......</p><p><br/></p><p>"What's with this nostalgic feeling?"</p><p>I lifted my face and met his gaze</p><p>Bells rang in my ears, time stopped at that very moment-</p><p>One I only often got to relive in my <strong>DREAMS</strong></p><p>Once again, I lost my chance to seek his name</p><p>Just standing there,</p><p>Having lone conversations with a smile on my face</p><p><br/></p><p>He should think I'm crazy already</p><p>He passed me by without stealing a second glance</p><p>And as I slowly watched him leave, it suddenly hit me</p><p>"This might be your final chance!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Still, I couldn't react</p><p>Or was I too stunned to even move?</p><p><br/></p><p>I look back now and the memories keep flooding back</p><p>If only I took that chance to know his name</p><p>If only I took in that scent longer in his embrace</p><p>I might've had more today to say</p><p><br/></p><p>There went the stranger of my <strong>dreams</strong></p><p>A chance lost that I may never get back</p>
