Mona Lisa Dreaming

Staring across the bar top wilderness
My gaze catches the sultry eyes

Of sweetness personified
What are her intentions?

Her smile seems flirtatious 
Or is she just being polite?

So hard to read the signals 
When hope clouds objectivity

While partying with her crew
She throws a quick glance in my direction

Or was she checking the TV?
Seeing right through me

Imagination now takes over
Visualizing us together

Is the same fantasy playing
Inside her angelic head?

The songlist plays on,
Lyrics nobody hears

Deep into the longing night
The stars sink into the horizon

The dream I will never know
Puts on her coat and leaves

Casting me a wistful smile on her way out
One last bouquet for the us that could have been
