In line we stood, the taxi dream in sight,
Your chocolate face, a vision pure and bright.
A glance exchanged, a spark from long ago,
In silent waves, my heart began to glow.
Boldly I sat, beside this queen so fair,
The tales of life within her eyes laid bare.
Two little treasures in a form of a photo,
reflections of her grace,
Yet still I saw a longing in her face.
With each soft word, I praised the light she hold,
A gentle warmth, a story yet untold.
I spoke of dreams, the flames of days gone by,
And whispered hopes that love could never die.
If hearts can leap beyond the bounds we bear,
Together, dear, we’d weave a love so rare.
In moments shared, let past and future meet,
With courage found, our souls could feel complete.
