The Waitress

It’s her and not the Waffle House That bids me come that way Not the food or awesome prices But her smile that feels like pay Her beauty has me blooming With stares and look and see And as she takes my order No other place I’d want to be Her movements have me craving The all she is to me While simply wearing a uniform She awakens my need to be The kindness of her service Would cure any lonely condition There something more that arrives Not coming from the kitchen It’s not the place with something to eat That turns that something on that’s missing And never mind the jealous eye’s That are there just like mine Wishing that they were kissing The cries and lies that beacon time And suggest a cozy meeting My turn that often comes and goes with my always ever seeking Away to be a little more With would be love that's creeping Imagine this a beautiful wife Compleat with ring and hair An overdose of happiness Where few brave souls do dare I settle for just the stolen moments With my precious loving care Glad to be without the worry Of the eye’s that wink and stare

One wants her for a wife. She has her pick. Let her pick well.

I wonder if he'd come today Again with his smug. He winks as he strolls through the mob of ordinary, I know it's all in my mind,imaginary. But just for a second when I fell like that smile is mine, I forget the bills I have to pay,the sadness in disguise. And he enters through the gate,this time,flowers in his hands, Mocking "you're not the one for his dreams or parents". And with a smile that could light up my darkest skies,he says "Coffee for two,please.No sugar added".

ahhh, you're right...food isn't the reason we choose a place to eat, it's the people. In this case, it's the allure of a beautiful woman. I enjoyed your story and took delight in your settling for stolen moment. Have a great evening, Sara
