You meet by chance
A pause in her gait
A backwards glance
Something convinces her to wait
To turn around and converse
None of it rehearsed
You say your goodbye
You agree to see each other again
Yet you don’t know why
She lives in another land
Though it isn’t far
A place full of big dreams and plans
Full of glitz, glam, and stars
Her rare form entices you
And her intelligence will suffice
You start off the gentleman
Throwing on your cloak of nice
You fill her head with fantasies
Oh you fill her to the brim it’s true
Convince her you aren’t just temporary
Convince her to wait for you
You break her heart everyday
Then help her pick it back up and put it away
Then one day
You see something change
Her time is limited
But her skin is glowing
Her designer gown seems more fitted
Her confidence is showing
You ask her a simple question
What can this be?
She gives you that backward glance and says one word
He
Love elephant and want to go steady?
