Coffee in the Café

I sat in the café and waited.
Sipping at coffee,
And watching the strangers go by.

I sat in the café and waited.
One eye on the clock,
And watching the strangers go by.

I sat in the café and waited,
My heart beating faster,
Knowing the hour was past,
Staring with fear,
At the hands on the clock,
As they beat our lost chances away.

But you caught the last chance to the café,
You wrested my sight from the clock,
You walked through that door,
And time fell away.
So we sat sipping coffee in the café,
And watching the strangers go by.
