I stopped my car today. <br />'Twas early hours. <br />And pulled the window down <br />thus to be heard. <br /> <br />And I just HAD to have <br />a word with her, <br />as she was walking. <br />'Hello, excuse me, <br />would you wait for me? ' <br />She'd kept on walking, <br />quite oblivious <br />to things of urgency. <br /> <br />I tried my smile <br />and it ignited only <br />bemusement, <br />mixed with little bits of <br />pink impatience. <br />It wasn't possible <br />to stem the flow, <br />although the words I uttered <br />were - though bold - but few. <br /> <br />I told her then and there, <br />that I'd not seen <br />a woman of such beauty, <br />for many moons, <br />then quickly left, <br />embarrassed like a man. <br /> <br />And as she slowly shrank <br />into my mirror, <br />she first stood still, <br />then gave a tiny wave. <br /> <br />I'll say these words <br />soon to my own girl, <br />but spread the message <br />of her spirit where I can.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/these-words-were-meant-for-you/
