Cobblestone

She raced across the cobbled stone
She'd broke her glasses and dropped her phone.
runs into the terminal, gasping for breath
her heads on a swivel, searching right to left
If she misses his train all time would be lost
she has a casting in 20 minutes,
her agent would be cross.

She'd met him at a show much earlier that week
he'd approached through a friend
So She agreed that they'd meet

Picked up a few days later, but her hopes were not high
assuming they'd end the night solo, after saying goodbye

But he was so much more than an Intelligent face
He'd wined and dined her
brought her back to his place
filled 2 glasses with champagne
filled her soul with jazz
her eyes now distant, reminiscing of the past

But she was sure she sealed the deal when she gave him have that kiss.
2 souls locked together, lost in a moment of pure bliss.

But she'd agreed to his wishes
He'd brought her back home
a soft engine purring behind her, as she walked through her door alone.

He was leaving two day later, she really should've called
now she's running through a train station, trying not to fall.

Back in the station, sees a bald head above the crowd
he doesn't hear her shout
the crowd is just too loud.

People passing by, turn and shake their heads
You see our pretty angel is now balancing on the edge
of a table,
she leapt onto, still shouting his name
but he still doesn't hear her, he walks into his train.

Heart sinking in her chest as she slowly gets down
the door has closed behind him
his trains now headed out of town.

Well she did make her appointment
although she missed his train
Still wondering if she called
would the outcome have been the same.

Now whenever she's on a runway
at ease, in this uncomfortable place
ignoring superficial lights and sound
as she searches for his familiar face.
