How To Say I Love You Without Saying I Love You #47

Just when I thought
The day was about to get better
I received a letter
And I said — Oh God, not another bill!
I stood there confused
Wondering what dues
Would bring me the news
Which would make me curse
And loosen my purse
But then I looked at the post
It looked different than most
It was not
What I had first thought

I felt hesitation
To see an invitation
To a destination
Where a soulmate I could find
Inside was a ticket
All was needed was to pick it
And follow the plan designed
I did as instructed
Left the fears I’d constructed
In the back of my mind
As I stepped out of the door
A bus waited and lo!
I never looked behind

The vehicle was overflowin’
With young, old and easy-goin’
But there was no knowin’
Where my stop would be
So I calmly took a seat
At the back of the fleet
And waited for my sweet
Moment to arrive
Every now and then
The bus would stop and then
A hopeful man
Would step out with dreamy eyes
We all would wish him well
But as far as I could tell
We were keen and dyin’
To save our souls from sighin’
The rest of our lives

I watched the men part
With hope in their hearts
Till there was nobody left
All alone I sat
Beginning to regret
Wondering if it was a con
That I had been on
But then my mind’s fault
Came to a halt
And I knew my stop had come
I stepped off the steps
On to your doorstep
And saw a warm, cosy home

When I rang the bell
I had no way to tell
What was on the other side
But my god the surprise
When I looked in your eyes
Was more than I could hide
The life I had before
Ceased to make sense anymore
The past had gracefully died
Long may it be told
To her charm I was sold
To my future I had arrived
