#November Notes Day 16, Prompt Song: Sweet Serendity by Lee DeWyze
Better Luck Latte
I wasn’t looking for you
I wasn’t looking for anything
that’s true.
I’d been in love, it fell apart
I was just living everyday
making a clean start.
Every morning I went to that shop
for a latte, a bagel
wielding my laptop
The owner, Mr. Alberghetti, knew me
gave me extra cream cheese
saying I was too skinny.
One morning he nodded at you
jerked his thumb
“I don’t want you to misconstrue,
but him, he’s for you.”
You looked up maybe you knew
what he said
You grinned, like déjà vu
I don’t believe in fate typically
your gentle smile did
make me believe in serendipity

🙂 Thank you!
Cool poem. It flowed well and was a little cheeky. At least that’s how I read it. Is it a true story though?
nope, the fiction writer through and through. 🙂 Thanks!
Aww! I thought there was romance on the cards!
….there was for the narrator…she had serendipity! 🙂
awwww. packed with emotions! <3
Thank you! 🙂
