First Act
This was not the first time
She's seen him here before
Wants to learn his story
Is there a part for her?
A place in his pages
"The player" of the cast
That makes the difference
Steers their path together
Today might be the day
Thinks he saw her enter
The cafe is crowded
Feels like only two though
She catches him glancing
Pretending not to look
Is he just a shy one?
Or did she just daydream?
Her heart can barely take
the torturous seconds
Drumming out a rhythm
A pain so hard to bear
She puts on her best smile
He has to see this time
Why does he not act now?
Could she be mistaken?
No time she must leave now
The Fates may be unkind
What to do next? Damn heart
Must be another way
Will author a new act
Make the plot go her way
Or be lost in trying
Next time will be the All
