Waitress

by Richard Vince

Watching the condensation dripping
Down the side of my glass
My mind was everywhere
But I couldn't find it

Then I looked up...
And there she was
A vision in black, white and blonde

That purposeful walk...
Rolled up sleeves...
I was transfixed
Captured by the aura of shy confidence
As she carried the trays to and fro
And I sat and drank

Then I drained the last drops
And knew I had to go
I had to leave her behind
In this world of tea and cakes

And I knew I wanted to stay
And watch forever...

This has happened to me....and yes, to just stay in that world, would be grand. Almost a dazed feeling. A well captured event. Great details.
