Another day at the office,1
So much stress now takes it's toll2
A break was really needed3
Before I fall into a hole4
Assuring myself, as I walked outside5
"This day can not be any worse"6
I walked down to the corner cafe7
Then realised I'd forgotten my purse8
Running back into the building9
I passed the bosses room10
I over-heard a conversation11
About putting me off soon12
I ran and grabbed my purse13
And left for that needed break14
Thinking of that coffee15
Which would rid my hands of shake16
I ordered my regular favorite17
As my mind started to race away18
A lost love, a lost job19
All within the last five days20
I grabbed my order and turned to leave21
Racing out the door22
Crashed into a dazed man23
Coffee drenched me, chest to floor24
He slowly handed me his card25
And apologised in tone so low26
Embarrassed, I fled the scene27
Murmuring "I have to go"28
Sitting in my office29
I held his card in my hand30
I wondered silently to myself31
"There is something about that man"32
