a cigarette bounced on your finger tips.
ashes flicked into the breeze
the nicotine stick brought to your ruby red lips.
i knew i loved you then,
when you blew out the smoke and we locked eyes.
you weren't like other girls i'd seen.
you had a short blue summer dress with a pair of white flats.
light brown hair that was wavy and pulled back.
not someone i pictured smoking.
the stick was done.
i think you knew i fell in love,
even though i hadn't said a word.
even then,
you knew i was different.
as i did you.
i whispered
i love you
before you returned to the cafe room.
