Timelines

She sits alone, waiting at a bus stop

A man walks past, his wallet he drops

But he keeps walking onwards and she calls him back

Their eyes meet and they begin to have a chat

 

Days pass by, they get to know one another

Through an act of sheer bravery he asks for her number

She happily complys and says goodbye with a smile

A message pops up on her phone after a little while

 

They talk, they laugh, he asks her on a date

How did these two meet? I'd just call it fate

They share the same hobbies, ideals and views

He looks into her eyes and tells her "I Love You"

 

They cherish one another, for many years

When to him it seems clear that the time is finally here

He looks at her, stops, and takes one knee

He says the words she's been waiting for "Will you marry me?"

 

They grow old together, and live their life in happiness

He still loves her as much as he did when they first met

He's blessed, she still looks beautiful in that dress

But the days get rougher and he begins to stress

 

In a hospital bed, she dies in his arms

He cries but still clinches firmly onto her palm

He's an emotional wreck, the epitome of sad

Yet he's still glad they both experienced the times they had

 

She sits alone, waiting at a bus stop

A man walks past, his wallet he drops

She doesn't even notice it, right under her nose

She gets onto the bus, looks back, and the doors close.
