Cherries

Outside a bar on an October night, feeling out of place, didn't expect much, just another

Blind date. Friends kept insisting, man, she's the one. I laughed it off, said, yeah, sure, just having fun, and she turned around. Like a dream, breaking through the crowd, and suddenly I knew

Her lips, cherry candy sweet, one look, and I fell at her feet. She was the one that slipped away. Yet here she stood on this blind date, guess fate had it safe

We talked for hours, like time forgot to move. Every word she spoke had that old, familiar groove. Laughter like music, soft and divine. In that small cafe glow, her hand found mine

The skeptic in me finally believed in the threads that fade quietly weave. Her lips, cherry candy sweet, one glance, and I lost my heartbeat. She was the one that got away. Now she's here to stay on this blind date, on this blind date

My teenage crush in grown-up skin brought me peace where doubt had been. With a gentle touch, she fixed what broke. In her eyes, all my fears went up in smoke. Never thought love could find me this way, but she turned my blind date into forever's play

Under the moonlight, shadows entwined, she whispered, love's free, no ties, no time. Now her absence haunts where her laughter used to be. Every echo still whispers her melody

Her lips, cherry candy sweet, in her eyes, I found my heartbeat. She was the one that got away. The one that got away. Now she's run away. If she comes back, I'll make her stay. Oh, come back, don't fade away

Thanks for watching
