Crowded place, late night cosy atmosphere dimmed light, silent laughter Cocktails at the bar people standing people waiting “Three beers, please.” Someone is shouting Standing close trying not to listen single words broken sentences no chairs anywhere I know no one here Another night with a limited edition Another night with a limited edition A visit to the bathroom before I leave and suddenly luck was in the air a place at the bar I rushed and got the chair The bartender nodded “Okay — one more.” The band returning couples on the floor I know the band but what’s its name? A woman answers with a smile Contact — it’s been a while Music taste latest news the weather’s changing bar talk in the making There’s something about her more than a flirt something in her face something in her eyes something which might hurt Honest talk some expressed others thought deeper than usual and new for me - no refusal Daily life school and job ups and downs things we carry things we hide Two guys push forward between our chairs I wait for their order They wait for theirs She leans forward waving her hand She smiles and leaves I freeze My arm hanging awkwardly in the air When I finally got down from the chair she was gone She was gone Alone going home alone in the night I felt blue I felt hollow with no one to follow She was out of sight out of sight But didn’t she say didn’t she say See you another night. See you another night another night another night
