walked into the bar to find her sitting The seat beside her was totally empty Surprisingly, there were many guys in the bar They dare not move close so as not to start a war? How could a lady so gorgeous sit by herself? With a glass of vodka sitting pretty in front of her My mind told me to go and say hello But I didn't know the misfortune that befell other guys We only live once, I said, I dare to give my try As I walked closer, I bet I heard her silent cry Broken, hurt, alone and distant she must feel How could I make her smile, I thought to myself I didn't want to walk off with my tail in between my legs "I bet you have shown other guys hell tonight Which explains why the seat beside you is empty Before you chase me away, let me sit and hear your silence" I said She smiled and the heaviness of my heart melted She needed that smile Not some cocky guys walking up to her Offering to buy her drink to impress her, she said We spoke and she opened up about her hurt She felt a burden off her chest as she recants I listened in silence and nodded in sympathy I acted the role of a therapist on the night While walking her to the car with a hug as a goodbye No name, no number exchanged and that was the deal Told her I wouldn't ask so she can bare it all It's easier to talk knowing it's to a stranger you might never see again Some people don't need money at all They just need a shoulder to cry on A listening ear to listen to the sensible and insensible That was what I did and she remains my mystery girl
