They met in Vienna, by happenstance in Rome
While a stranger to adventure, in Europe she was home
Fresh out of college, he journeyed over sea
no books but a backpack, a lone friend and he
Criss-crossing countries their paths would intersect
ever so romantic, a once in a lifetime movie effect
months went by, and not-quite lovers lived on
until, suddenly, his front door step she stood upon
for an Austrian thanksgiving, to Ohio she flew
one dinner was all, she bid him adieu
