Waiting in line

For a chance to see you

Waiting in line

It started out like this

I sat from across the room

And you were all I could see

Your smile lit up the room

And that's when I knew

You would be mine

I slipped right into the line

Didn't mind that you were 9 people ahead of me

It was the effortless smile for me

Your eyes lit up

When someone told you

I loved reading your book

It gave me such closure

I wanted closure too

I only saw you come into the store once

I was getting a book for my niece

And she was afraid I wouldn't get the perfect title

So she came along

If I was alone, we would have had a conversation

But that didn't happen

Since then I have stalked you

Sitting right here in this same spot every day

For almost 4 weeks and there you are

Right here in this same place

The gods have smiled on me

Now you are only 2 persons away

And my heart is doing something it's never done before

You must be special

I'll know just how much in
