He told his friends that he had to go 
He had to leave  
for a late night mission  
So they all agreed  
to see each other soon again  
The closest to him said:  
Good luck, my friend 
 
He took a deep breath  
and waved to the cabman  
He said: Take me to the shifting street  
and as he got closer and closer  
he could feel the rush  
of his heart's pounding beat  
 
*       *       * 
"I have self-control"  
She told herself  
over and over again  
She was stuck  
in a waiting game 
longing for a dear friend  
 
She was cold and nervous  
Shivering  
amongst the lithe candles  
but she remained focused  
with courage  
of a lioness  
 
*      *      *  
 
A few minutes later...  
He stood there 
on the second floor  
Checkin' the cost  
and looking at her door 
He lit a cigarette and picked up his phone  
I think she answered  
by the very first tone 
He asks for her permission  
and there she was 
Right infront of his vision  
stood the woman of his dreams 
Blushing and smiling  
in a moment of silence 
and pure inner peace 
in company with a burning desire  
 
*      *      * 
 
The butterflies inside of her  
refused to listen to her command  
they flew around, from head to toe  
like a rollercoaster 
She could feel his presence as she reached for her phone  
Just then he called  
and she answered by the very first tone 
A raspy voice said "Hello"  
She went straight to her door 
and saw the man of her dreams  
trough her peak-hole  
 
*     *     * 
She opened  
and there they were 
in the middle of the midnight  
with swirling leaves 
to a fresh breeze  
from a changing season  
 
The stars was shining bright  
.Everything happens for a reason.
