That Diner Girl

 



Entwined in conversation on this excursion.

It comes around like a lone knock on the door

Someone who connects in an instant and for hours

Who can ask for anything more?

 

Hands and eyes and coffee cups

Soulmates from a trace of memory.

Nothing to define,

Just a moment of brightness

in the movement of time.

 

I’ll be your diner girl

You’ll never forget

Peace of mind lost in conversation

No need for any other distraction

To find this elevation.

 

We breathe with the expanse of sky

Until we have to say goodbye.

 

I’ll be your diner girl

Fill you up with the brightness

Fill you up like a coffee cup running on empty.

No need for a booth or bar.

Happy with us as we are.

 

Years go by, but in a moment,

We hear each other’s voices

When you hear my call

I will always send you my all.

 

I’ll be your diner girl

A spark of joy

To your troubled day.

Wish we could talk for a few more hours,

But already we are stuck for time.

 

Entwined in conversation on this excursion.

It comes around like a lone knock on the door.

Someone who connects in an instant and for hours

Who can ask for anything more?
