Will He Look At Me?
i see him everyday, i cant help it but he smiles
he doesnt smiles particulary at me, but he does
at the crowd where he sings, he is not a street singer
but a little bit popular, a country singer, but he sings
on the streets whenever he sees old people, whenever
oh, whenever his girlfriend is around, she is pretty
with violet eyes and jet black hair to her waist, with a
warm smile, and she always has her arm around him
they always come to have coffee at the corner of the street
and i always want to praise his singing, but destiny never
gives me the chance, as always when i want to thank him
not for his songs but for the love he has for human beings
never mind sick, old, or handicapped, he has a warm heart
his famous girlfriend wants to drool all over him, is it jealousy?
am i suddenly jealous of a girl who is luckier than i am?
but one day at it happened, he came alone at the cafe
he started singing and i shrugged, but as i look i saw he was alone
and i went upto him and i tapped on his shoulder, it was destiny
i asked, “Where’s your girlfriend?” he smiled mischievously
he said briskly with handsome grin, “she went to london,
for a conference, so here iam on the streets, feeling lonely!”
i shrugged and felt the jealously tie a knot in the pit of my stomach
i suddenly turned around and asked him, “Will you have coffee?”
he smiled and said, “sure! i get a cup of coffee this time as a treat!”
we sat down and i asked him, “why do you sing on the streets?”
i ordered white coffee with two teaspoon of sugar, and some cupcakes
he replied, “well everybody thinks that its my idea but its not!”
i was about to smile but something in his rich voice stopped me
“its my girlfriends idea! Susan thinks if i let all the town hear me sing
i will definitely be able to have many audience, she thinks my singing
is meant for the soul, and she’s my inspiration not only my mentor!”
thankfully coffee had arrived and i began eating the cupcakes not
meeting his dark brown eyes, he licked cream off his tongue, devilishly
i gulped hot coffee and i realised that i indeed had feelings for this guy
i didnt know what to do, iam not a bad person, only have feelings
like the rest of the human population, but destiny had something in mind
when coffee finished i let him sing for an old lady who kissed him on
his hardened cheeks and i knew that it was time to let him go, go to his
dreams as he was full of talent and i knew that it would have to be Susan
who would make him truly a famous singer, and as it happened five years
went by and one day i was happily married with two kids and one night
my daughter ran into the kitchen and cried with joy, “Mama, its my
boyfriend on TV! he sings like jingle bells!” and as i hurried into the
living room, i saw him, on national tv, and till this day i didnt get his name
and i saw that it was the famous Drake who was on stage and melted so
many hearts, and i avoided my husbands laughter and saw that Susan was
upstage as well, hugging and kissing the man she had helped build and shape!
i realised when destiny brings people together, it is totally destinys choice!
