My heart skipped a beat

As I walked down that street

Passing by the city lights

Looking at all the delights

When I suddenly saw her

My world blurred

My heart skipped a beat

She was such a treat

Sitting in the coffee shop

I wanted to say hi and make her stop

To make her smile and take her out

But all I did was mentally shout

Although my heart had skipped a beat

I didn’t turn it into something great

Although I wish I did something major

She will always remain a total stranger
