I see you
every now and again
I see you
what’s your name?
remember the first time
you came to my floor
I stared for some time
couldn’t help myself
there was a time you called my number
but to speak to someone else
didn’t know you were the caller
till he told me it was you
who was that, I asked
it’s the girl from floor seven
he smiled, as he answered
didn’t ask for your name
how could I?
the twinkle in his eye gave him away
the truth they say, lies in the eyes
he feels the same way
then we met in the elevator
doors were about closed
but a hand tripped the motion sensor
that hand belonged to you
Hello, you said to everyone
we all heard you
but it was like you spoke to only one
me, and me alone
I tried to talk back
but that smile of yours deaded all that
I was like a broken eight-track
sounded lame, rusty and wack
the elevator ride was short
thank God for that
coz I might have said all sorts
speaking coherently with my heart but not my mouth
I sighed as we parted ways
I’ll get another chance, I told myself
who knows, maybe even today
but damn girl, forgot to ask you for your name!
