Bad Timing

I wanted someone like,
someone with your heart, 
someone with your soul, 

someone who would make me smile, 
even if just for a while, 
someone with your walk
or even with your talk...

Then you walked in
as if in my dreams
I could hardly believe my eyes, 
was it really you?
I wanted to pinch myself, 

there you were, 
the man of my dreams.
You smiled at me, 
I smiled back, 

Imagine my disgust...
When my alarm went off!!
