A lonely concrete walk through the city
Numb to hope, inundated with self pity
Her fragrant debut caressed his face
On a red carpet in a world of grays
Spun him around on the tips of his woes
Against his will, the desire rose
Imprinting her red sunkissed hair
with an accidental invitation to stare
Entranced with desire
warmth igniting to fire
in a quiet scream he stood
too far from the taxi's hood
That moment when ordinary is sublime
It leaves as fast as it comes in time
And all the love that's found alone
returns from what's not been known
Another time, again, they'd never meet
the red carpet ran out from beneath their feet.
