They Did Not Fall In Love, But it Was Close Enough


It's now just a memory almost too faded to clearly recall

She was working at a diner in College Grove
He was just an acne-scarred kid still in high school

The way she moved her hips when she walked over
The way her brown curls cascaded around her face
The way she smiled when she took his order

He read her name off the tag on her blouse and told her his
She told him he could take her number or come back after 10
He replied he'd find a way to kill the hours until then
They ended up out on the bay sharing a first kiss
Talked for half the night about the mystery that is attraction

She said she had come out from New York to get a new start
Had to get as far away as she could from everyone she knew
She had decided on San Diego because she liked the zoo
He lied to her and said he was in college majoring in art
As the sun came up they eyed each other with satisfaction

They ended up at her small apartment off Rolando
Dancing with one another in the dark living room
Dancing with one another in the dark bedroom

With the audacity of strangers they shared their dreams
With the audacity of strangers they shared their desires

It's now just a memory almost too faded to clearly recall
