I sat by the window side at the bus And ate some chocolate cake with gusto Headaches from last night's partying And suddenly I dozed off while eating
How strange...
Someone tapped me on the shoulder I ****** and opened up my eyes And saw you with your gentle smile My face with smudges of chocolate
How embarrassing...
You asked if the seat beside me was vacant I nodded unable to speak for shame and fear Of opening my mouth full with chocolate cake Too conscious how my teeth would look like
How pathetic...
Side by side, hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder Instantly felt the warmth of your smooth skin You glanced at me and smiled again very slowly My cheeks were blushing of my indecent thoughts
How pitiful...
You asked softly if where my destination was I answered politely afraid of looking directly Too distracted by the musky scent you have in you I wanted to ask what perfume you were wearing
How awkward...
The journey was tediously long and I had hangover We sat there for five hours in companionable silence But my insides were screaming with excitement By your mere presence, I felt I was safe and sound
How weird...
"Excuse me sir, may I pass?" I nudged you respectfully Your eyes widened a little bit and nodded in silence I got off the bus and stared as it continued on the road Regretted that I never even dared to ask for your name
How hopeless...
Dedicated to that beautiful stranger who was my seatmate at the bus. He was really handsome, with beautiful eyes and wonderful smell. One of the things I regretted in my life was I never asked his name. And four years later, I still wonder about that 5 hour drive.
