What the hell are you waiting for?

There once was a lady in waiting
Who lurked and watched people dating
Online in chat rooms
She watched love as it blooms
Never knowing a friend she'd be dating

He messaged her with his lame plea
Won't you please take a minute for me?
They chatted for hours
While she tended her flowers
Never thinking that they'd good friends be

Then months passed and there they still were
Talking nicely of him and of her
And suddenly she
Said in Paris we'll be
Dancing naked in winter and BRRRRRRR

They remain good friends to this day
Though they've never actually hit the hay
They talk and they share
Of the hearts that they wear
On their sleeves for others to slay

One night in their dreams as they sleep
Paris comes and they must make the leap
Forsaking all others
Like sister and brother
They must promise their trust and love keep

Clandestinely they finally meet
For coffee, and buns they will eat
Though they share no paternity
Lady's ingrained maternity
Makes her love him for poems so sweet

Alas , the daydream must end
And they ultimately wind up as friends
The coffee was great
But there'd be no more date
For their hearts were too broken to mend
