I was so tired that Thursday afternoon

That I want to close my eyes for long

But I guess I opened them so soon

Cause the sun shined brightly all along

There was this man coming down the aisle of the bus

Looking for a comfortable seat

And I’m surprised to see him walking in a rush

And sat next to me that my heart leaped

Where on earth did he come from?

Seems like I’ve known him for a long time

My heart beats like a roll of the drum

It’s very unusual like it has never been mine

So I tried to sleep though I’m oddly awake

For I can’t look at him, for heaven’s sake!

And to avoid the sunlight from hitting my face

I need something to cover it just in case

But the curtains were so far from my reach

I looked like a fool trying to get which is which?

He helped me unexpectedly and asked

“Is it okay now?”, oh it happened so fast

When we sat back down we nearly bumped our heads

And my eyes were down when I said,

“Thanks” and I want to tell him more

But my mouth shut like a slammed door

My insides are trembling as if going to burst

We’ve never met; rather this is the first

The first time I knew that he’s my soul mate

Well I’m happy that it’s not too late

After a minute or so, he got to his feet

And off the bus he went

With an unseen smile and an unfelt heartbeat

I bade him goodbye with a message not sent

I am taken aback when I found myself

Looking sad in the real world I live in

The sudden happiness that I freshly felt

Now faded away without the sight of him
