That guy in the
old bookshop,
Always lost in
a worn-out page.
He sits behind
the counter, silent,
And I’m caught
in the shape of his gaze.

Always lost in

He sits behind
the counter, silent,
And I’m caught
in the shape of his gaze.

I can’t
shake it off—
That look,
that moment.
So when I
get home,
I’ll write a
song about him

On my days off,
I take the bus,
A book in hand,
just an excuse.
I linger at the
till too long,
Tracing the lines
of his quiet face.

Now I know
his name,
But he still
doesn’t know mine.
So when I
get home,
I’ll write a song
about him.

He scans the price
and stamps my card,
Hardcovers, paperbacks,
my little choices.
Today, he glanced
at my book and said,
"That one's a
good read."

A word,
a spark—
So when I
get home,
I’ll write a song
about him.
