A Breif Encouter

I remember when I met this girl while I was stuck in the train station
 Even if it was a brief encounter and we only made little conversation
 I couldn’t help notice her checking me out from the corner of my eye
 And yeah there's me again in doubt , trying I was not to look so shy

 She said you know I think further up the line, a train has broken down
 And here I am again stuck in the rain, yeah I'm in some other town
 I was hoping transport would arrive soon, but it did not look so great
 I thought as I could still see the moon, so I guess that it must be late

 You never expect the unexpected, I hoped it would go some where
 Just the feeling of being rejected, I thought she liked me by her stare
 I thought she's having me on, as she was beyond the looks of a star
 I'm thinking she's already seeing someone, that guy with the top car

I'm the kind who thinks, already I'm apprehensive while in her presence
If we went out she'd have you buy all the drinks and expensive presents
To some she was not beautiful, but is beauty not in the eye of the beholder?
If I was king, she'd be queen of my castle, but if this I'd only then told her

But were on the next train and on our way home, we said our good bye's
If I'd half a brain I wouldn’t be on my own, dose she like soft hearted guys ?
Was she already spoken for this girl?, then perhaps I'd missed the boat 
If I'd been more open on that day?, as now I feel again I’m just left afloat

                Written in memory of a girl I met one Saturday evening
        Back in oct(2003) inspired by events and conversations/ written(2004)

                 PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS ALREADY ON SOUP
                  BUT DECIED TO REEIT TO ORIGINAL FORM
