The Encounter

Out of nowhere she appeared Something out of a movie scene And this time it was no different Boy meets girl is usually the theme She came in with her orange hair flowing With the movie star glasses Without her ever knowing Beautiful is a term she surpasses You’ve taken my breath away Is what I wanted to step up and say But as fast as she had stepped in She also disappeared like the wind I have spent so long searching for that love For the one I believed was true But once again love has escaped me What else is there to do The beautiful eyes and wonderful smile It was as if heaven were dialed The cute face and itty bitty waist I’m never tongue tied but this time was not the case I couldn’t believe my eyes And wondered if it was a dream She was so unbelievable So I guess a dream is what it seemed I didn’t sleep that whole night Trying to get her out of my mind I wanted to hold her oh so tight To the point our bodies entwined I awoke to the idea that today will be the day That I will be able to sit and speak to her For I prepared all the words I shall say My hopes were fulfilled For there she was standing My soul was all fluttered To pop out my chest, my heart was demanding i got the nerve to walk up and speak I was so nervous; I thought my mouth would leak She took off the shades And looked into my eyes I had to stop for a moment Because I was so mesmerized We end up speaking for a few minutes But forever is what it seemed Her ride had come to wisk her away To another part of her day But before she had left I exclaimed please tell me your name She said oh I’m sorry I forgot to say My name is Shyvonne But you can call me Shay
