Bookends To Book Covers
12.29.2018
A man sits behind
The women he wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
A woman sits behind
The man she wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
But will they ever turn around
Will they ever meet
Or will they remain
Back to back
Two lost lovers
Bookends with no story
Between book covers or sheets
Back to back loners
Left wanting
In back to back restaurant seats
Two lost lovers
As a couple
Fates are bound
By the chances they both
Should happen to turn around
How many times does this happen
How many missed opportunities occur
Heads down as life marches on
Love falls through hidden cracks
Gets lost in the blur
We get so busy looking
Close our eyes to make a wish
But eyes closed
We fail to see
The connection we need
Our missing link
Sitting in the next seat
And they’re too busy looking
Close their eyes to make a wish
But eyes closed
They too fail to see
The connection they need
Their missing link
Sitting in the next seat
Turn around now
Open your eyes
Don’t leave it up to
Chance, luck or otherwise
Don’t leave it up to chance
But turn around
And take a chance
Turn around now
And open your eyes
A man sits behind
The woman he wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
A woman sits behind
The man she wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
He looks around
She turns around
Through both chance
And taking chance
They meet
Two found lovers
Bookends to book covers
Writing their story in between
And they sit now
Facing each other
Together
In facing restaurant seats
Two found lovers
Bookends to book covers
Together
In restaurant seats
