Three quarters of a day
passed unnoticed
until I glimpsed you

passing by
like a whisper
like a lost word in a scrabble.
Pity,
there are no question marks
on the game board
that I could ask you out
for a cup of coffee.
But what if you don’t like coffee?
Then,
maybe I’d propose a walk
through the park.
Then dinner
in that cute Italian restaurant
I saw last week being opened.
Then I’d walk you
home,
maybe even get a kiss
for a good night
and be content.
But there are no question marks
on the game board.
So all I can do
is to dare myself
to say, that you’re beautiful
tonight
and I feel content.
