Caught my eye

It was a hot summers eve
I dressed sensual
on my way to see him
Before me you stood as I exit the store
you were dressed in your Police attire
Your smile so bright
caught my eye
as you said
"Where you going looking like that?"
I returned the smile
and went about my way

A few days later
As I stood looking over the vegetables
I dropped my list
When I reached for it
Your hand touched mine
Your smile so bright
caught my eye
as you said
"Whats for supper?"
I returned the smile
and went about my way

That night as I logged in
running through chat
The catchy name appeared so bright
caught my eye
as you said
"whatcha doin?"
I returned the chat
"Where are you from?"
"Across the lake" was the response
"Hum, close to me"
"What's the profession?"
"Police, your kidding" I said
"Do you date?"
"yes, but I belong to another" I said
"why are you in this chat, if you really care?"
as the conversation continued
you said, "hey I know him!"

"What about lunch?"
"I can't I belong to another
but, coffee sounds nice"

I parked in the lot next to the shop
and watched you approach
Your smile so bright
caught my eye
as you said "Are you waiting for me?"
We both laughed
as we realized we had already met.

We talked for hours
and you said,
"he's a lucky man
to have someone that loves him like that."
You explained to me the games he played,
after all you should know you read the same book.

As the days passed by
we played in the water
and went riding in the boat,
when the sunset our bodies burned
from the sun I might add
Your smiled so bright
caught my eye
as you said, "your so beautiful,
what are you doing
with a man like that?"
I returned the smile
and went about my way

Every morning for months
your catchy name appeared so bright
caught my eye
we chatted for hours
while drinking our coffee
and laughing at how we met

You came to my church
sat there with me
your arm around my shoulder
I looked up to see
Your smile so bright
caught my eye
as you said, "If I love you
and you do not love me
then someone else will"
I returned the smile
and went about my way

Those were the last words you ever shared with me

I met the ambulance that sultry day
with police car escort
A smile crossed my face
as I thought
there's my friend
little did I know,
you were the one in the back

The news was hard
I cried for days
and I miss you still
but,
I thank God
Your smile so bright
caught my eye
I return the smile
and go about my way
