Across a Bridge I Walk

across a bridge i walk smiling at the lake's slow flow then you come along all of a sudden i want to buy a boat that i know not how to operate you say hello i reply hello back a little too quickly then i notice the wedding band along with your smile i wish you a good evening and stroll along and so it goes, some things aren't meant to be across a bridge i walk smiling at the lake's slow flow then you come along again all of a sudden i want to buy a boat that i know my heck to check behind cannot afford then i notice that i mistook your birthstone ring for a wedding band i make light conversation on said bridge with a kind of shy, bashful tonality you smile back at me and begin to do something similar to blushing we walk together in the perfect, early fall weather, talking, laughing, and loosening up we say our goodbyes when you tell me you have to go i give you my cell phone number but do not ask for yours i just wave back at you, admire your smile again, and watch you drive away and so it goes, faith without works......mmmm hmmm i think when i get to my car i am gonna google discounted, slightly used boats
