It was just a coffee and a subway ride back home

[doncasanova]

but it felt like a new start.

There she was
Glasses and red sweater
smiling through the night
our laughter hung in the air
long after midnight

She doesn't know what this could be
she doesn't know that sitting there
across from her
is a guy who never expected to feel this again

Smile for the ages
Wit to keep a nail on point
They sat in the cold night air
being warmed by their hot coco and conversation

Maybe they'll be a tomorrow
but the focus was that night
nothing about past or future
sitting with knees touching

his heart peaked above the wall
the cinderblocks were becoming hot
the heart could see the light sneaking in
it wasn't use to light
after spending so much time in the dark

So they walked home
his arm around her shoulders
her arm around his waist
smiling all the way to her door

Hug and smile
they leave each other
they ate up the moment
a 2nd night in the works

"There'll be girls across the nation
That will eat this up babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it,
No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again"
