CAFE

A cute single teen
Enjoys her toast and beans
A young man opens the door
Thier eyes meet over the floor
With cupids arrow in between  
Like a movie love scene

They share a table to feast
Vowing every time they meet
To sit at the same place
Over the table, face to face
But a fire the following week 
Closed the cafe indefinitely 

They never again crossed paths
Years and years went by fast
Each married another spouse 
With children and big house
Now aged and partners passed
Alone, and reminiscing the past

She tries the new cafe in town
He's sat there on his own
She asks if she could join him
Not knowing he's her old flame
Sharing stories from lives gone
And the love they once owned

Realising they are the one
The young love that had gone
Beans on toast tasted better 
Now they're back together 
The twist of this love song
They we're close all along
