she was so lovely, she took my breath away
she was so short, i flew on by
she was so wanted, i knew no other
she was so late, i passed and sighed
she was so timid, as i am always
she was so beautiful, i reached
she was so sordid, i did tumble
she was too proud, i was no leach
she was no failure, i was not
she was no winner, i was not

and we wait for serendipity to falter no more
and we wait for fates to find us fading away from view
caught in a stare
i loved you
