I brought my car to the dealer for some work
This won’t take long, have a seat, said the clerk
There was only one other person sitting there
First glance showed a head of brown wavy hair
His eyes stayed glued to the pages of his book
Giving me a chance to take a really good look
His face was ruggedly handsome and very tan
Broad shoulders and muscled arms, Oh man!
I sat and saw he was reading a Harlequin Romance
My mind began to wander, might we have a chance
Then remembering I was still staring, I got a surprise
He was looking back at me, with gorgeous blue eyes
I quickly looked away; hoping he would not construe
He went back to reading; but his smile said he knew
Now I felt embarrassed and suddenly so very shy
All because I got caught staring at a handsome guy
The clerk came in to get him, and now he is all gone
I wished I’d said something clever, I waited too long
If it had to happen, why happen on a day like today
That suddenly I lost my nerve and had nothing to say
The clerk came; I was done, my car parked on the side
I took my keys and exited, he stood there, smiling wide
He said, “I was thinking about you, I hope it’s not too late,
You’re awfully cute, if you’re not busy, how about a date?”
