The Napkin

The Napkin In a little beach side cafe Where she works every other day I order the usual and sit at the table In love with a waitress unable To summon the courage to say Would you like to go out someday If she could only see The man that's inside of me She wouldn't have to look anymore I'm the one she's been looking for One of these days I'm gonna leave a note On a napkin she'll read what I wrote To the girl who smiles when we greet Who tells me sir please take a seat I wanna thank you for making my day But there's something Ive been meaning to say Behind your glasses I see a person Who's beauty shines within I know your probably another guys muse Cause a diamond like you, you just don't lose The way you smile Let me daydream if only for awhile In a little restaurant on the corner of fourth avenue In a corner booth telling each other sweet I love you's As I brush aside your falling hair Slowly guiding it behind your ear Daydreaming of us in the dark Slow kissing racing hearts Lost in love and lost in time Your lips on mine Caressing your bottom lip with my thumb Trembling bodies turning numb In that moment we are a single whole Raging hearts and tangled souls I cut back to reality To drink my cream and coffee I wrestle with my doubt If I should ask her out If she could only see The man that's inside of me She wouldn't have to look anymore I'm the one she's been looking for As I sit here with a napkin Wondering where I should begin With pen in hand I hope she understands.................
