Silence...

Love can be cruel too.

Rain visits on an empty day

As in a coffee shop I sat.

Outside, in a trench coat, she made her way

Along the avenue that rain made wet.

Everyday for the past decade or so,

She'll make her way to this little shop.

At ten thirty in the morning and go,

"Cappuccino please, nothing on top".

The room may have been packed to the door

But when she walks in,

Everyone else melts into the floor.

She's all I see from the chair that I'm in.

We talked once before,

I hope she didn't think I was a bore.

She has lovely brown eyes

And auburn hair that smells oh so nice.

I can tell you all about her actually

But I'd rather not.

You see, she had this fiancé

Who, on her birthday, pretended he forgot.

So, naturally, she got mad.

Started acting all moody and sad.

What she didn't know was that

Her fiancé had had the whole night of their 5 year anniversary set.

He was going to cook dinner for her this turn

Then take her up to their apartment roof to pop the question.

Only, she didn't return

His calls from work or the train station.

He went outside to look for her.

There sitting alone on the park bench across the road,

Draped in work attire,

Was his fiancée and her sadness showed.

This sight pricked his heart and he ran across

He probably should have checked the road first

Because now his headstone bears a cross.

But her broken heart probably feels the worst.

Though, I'll be honest with you, guardian angels do exist.

I know this because I'm watching over her everyday.

Though it's been over a decade now,

Her love for me still remains in every way.

I would love to hug her like I used to

Or even cook for her this turn.

Honey, my deal with God was so I could look after you.

But you could never know, in return.
