THE RIGHT WORDS

I think that mostly everyone
With a kind heart
 have a certain ability
To look at someone's face for the first time
 And tell if that person is going through a tough time, sad or happy

They say that a picture paints a thousand words
And we all that, that is true
But I think a person's face
Also paints a thousand words too

So when I saw her on the bus stop
Immediately I knew she was worried about something
so I as drove to ShopRite grocery that day
I kept thinking of her as I parked into the parking lot

She was in front of a pizza shop
And I could've told that she was worried
she look so sad and distant standing there
 she was simple but she was so pretty

 So I decided to drive back again
Just to see if she was still there
And she was still there 
With her cute face and auburn hair

The pictures of every menu on display
Looks so delicious on the Window
And the way that she kept looking at the pictures in the window
I can tell that she was hungry and in her face, it shows

People was passing by as she was standing there
But life is what it is today
The frustration of today's life has everyone so occupied
People just mind their own business

Meanwhile inside the restaurant 
There are so many leftovers on the table 
The waitress carry the dishes in the back
while some patrons are looking at basketball on time warner cable

My car has stopped at the traffic light
On the corner of forest avenue and victory
And as I glance around I notice her
And I can tell that she notice me

I keep looking at her and I forgot about the traffic lights
And the guy in the back of me started honking his horn  
So I drove off, after yelling at him to " shut up and wait
But I kept thinking of her while I was driving

So I turn the car around and came back down the block
And she was still standing on the sidewalk
So I park to the corner of the next street 
And walk back to the restaurant 
And stood next to her and started to talk

I didn’t want to just come out and ask her out for lunch
So I had to start a conversation that would lead to me asking her 
So I said to her, hi how are you?
I think I saw you today at the home depot

Did you got the vacuum that you were looking for
She " Oh no, I think you are mistaken"
So I said " then you must have a twin sister
Then she smiles and started blushing a little

Then I look at the menu on the window and said “ have you ever tried their pizza
She said “ no, I have not and she was silent again
So I said "me too" not familiar with the foods here and I'm hungry so I said " would like to join me

Hope you don’t me asking you to join me
But I can't eat a whole pie by myself
I have to lie to her, just to get the right words to invite her into the restaurant  with me

I then told her “ I hope you don’t mind me asking you this
But since you never try the food here 
And I never tried the food here 
Would you like to join me to share a pizza and maybe have a drink

She was surprised I ask her that 
And thought she was hungry, she had her pride and dignity
She said “no its ok, I'm fine, thank you
So I said “look it's just to share a pizza 
And if you go, I will promise not to tell you, how pretty you are

She then started to laugh, when I said that 
Then I said “ see I made you smile, so that’s a good sign
Then she ok “ I will join you “ but first tell me your name,
So I told her my name is Kaz ishmael and she told me her name  and then went in and ordered a pizza and a bottle of wine

And we started talking, and we hit it off right away
" it was like if we knew each other for a long time
And while we ate, and sip a cold drink, we become more relax and comfortable with each other
And started to ask about each other's life 

She came to new York from north Carolina
To work in company in manhattan
And then after a year, the company close down and move to china
And for the past six months, she has been living on her saving and now she just has enough money for a ticket back to North Carolina.

She had two more weeks in her apartment
And then she was leaving on a united airlines plane
She's was going back to her childhood hometown
And then decide what she's going to do next

Sometimes in life, things can go wrong
And we all know that sometimes it will
And then the flat roads that you are accustomed to walking on
Will suddenly seem like a steep hill

And sometimes it can bring us down
And leave us to feeling so empty
When we know that we have to face the reality of it all
And we can't change what the situation really is

I wanted to see more of her, cause my heart really took to her
And just knowing that she was here in the big apple alone
Without any family or friends
I felt like god send me to her today

So I ask her if she would like to go for dinner tonight
And I pick her up at nine pm
And then we went out every night after
Until it time for her to take the plane

I was in love with her 
And I can tell that she was in love with me too
But I was always shy of relationships
So I could not find the courage to tell her " stay I love you"

And if I didn't tell her, 
that I have all these feelings for her
Then she won't know how I feel 
And then she would think that her love is one-sided 
So she didn't tell me that she had fallen in love with me also

I ask her to take her to the airport
But she said that had already made arrangements for a cab, from the booking agency
So we hug as friends and then time takes its part between us

It has been two months now since she went on that plane
And I couldn't stop thinking of her
It was like she had become a permanent picture hanging in my brain

I wanted to go to her and tell her how I feel
Because although I was afraid of treading on love's unknown territory
I was more afraid now, of not being able to live without her

But I didn't ask her for her address
and my phone fell into a puddle of water and I lose her number 
So I had no idea where to begin to find her 
So my days and nights and my life
Had become somewhat dark and gloomy and to a certain extent pointless

And I would also wonder if she was thinking of me also
And if she misses me too
And I would hope and wish that she would come back, but I knew that that was just wishful thinking

The weather forecast said there was a thunderstorm
And they said that is would be very severe at times
So I did what I had to do early
And I was tired so I fell asleep watching Netflix

The wind was roaring like a lion
And the thunder was crashing with distant sounds of drums
And the lightening was lightening up the night
It was a terrible night for anyone to be out

My eyes was awakened by the banging on the door
And at first, I thought it was the wind that was rattling the doors and windows
So I went to the and open it
And there she was trembling and cold and soaking wet

And she fell into my arms
 my heart started to beat with shock and also the excitement of her being here
I brought  her inside and " Omg what are you doing here and in this bad weather

And then she said " I love you " 
And have thought of you every second 
And she just had to come back and let you know
And then we kiss, we kiss and we kiss and we kiss
And Said " I love you too" in fact" I love you three" and she started to laugh and forgetting that her clothes were soaking wet 

I then tell her to come in the bedroom and get out of those wet clothes 
And I give her some towels and one of my t-shirts and sweat pants
And I went out the door 

She came out and sit on the sofa next to me
And we didn't have time to say a word
We were kissing and doing what we wanted to do for a long time in our hearts
But neither was too shy or coward to say

It's a beautiful morning today, the sun is coming through the bay windows
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air
She leans on me as I kiss her neck and her ear
As my hands goes around her waist

And I can feel the life she carries inside of her move
And she turns to me and said " did you feel that " he moves, he just kicked"

Pictures of our wedding and honeymoon hangs on the walls
We met by chance and we got lost
Today love has made us one
Love has brought us where our hearts belong
Love has made us strong
As we await our first child to be born
