Have you gals ever met him?
though dressed in the finest suit
well shaven and cute
like an actor readying for his shoot
you strain and strain
for his one glimpse
and he looks up finally
at you with steely eyes
as if you were just a piece of soot
no warmth not a glint of a smile
that would make you go after him an extra mile
heart aflutter
softened as butter
you stretch your lips a wee bit
hoping he would his
suddenly it does
his stares more intent
you on cloud nine
face like sunshine
soon reality strikes
all hopes dashed
dreams come crashed
as you realize
it wasn't even you he eyed for a while
but the gal behind you
with that sizzling smile.
