I
was
walking
down
the
street
one
day
Minding
my
own
business
When
I
fell
in
love
with
a
bike
rider
He
was
riding
a
cruiser
One
of
those
bikes
that
remind
you
of
The
good
‘
ole
days
When
kids
rode
over
to
the
neighborhood
Drug
store
and
ate
chocolate
malts served
By
guys
named
Stan
or
Larry
The
bike
was
shiny
and
blue
and
So
sleek
It
reminded
me
of
a
cat
(
If
cats
were
bright
blue
,
so
polished
that
You
could
see
your
warped
reflection
if
you
looked
)
I
was
watching
the
power
lines
on
the
side
Of
the
road
When
suddenly
he
rode
by
Looking
windblown,
yet
calm
His
face
was
the
most
handsome
face
I
had
ever
seen
(
Besides
the
one
I
spotted
yesterday
)
Sandy
-blonde
hair
and
a
hint
of
a
smile
on
his
Sun
-kissed
face
And
I
have
to
say
,
Jeans
and
a
t
-shirt
have
never
looked
That
good
on
anyone
And
then
(Brace
yourself
,
it
’s practically
The
best
moment
of
my
life
)
He
looked
at
me
.
And
he
smiled
At
me
!
I
swear
,
I
had
never
felt
so
happy
in
my
Whole
entire
fifteen
-year-old
life
(
He
smiled
at
me
!)
He
passed
by
me
and
I
hate
to
say
it
But
I
never
saw
him
again
But
,
still
,
I
was
in
love
.
Who
could
forget
a
face
(
and
a
bike
)
like
that
?
I
thought
about
him
all
day
Dreaming
about
that
smile
My
eyes
constantly
searching
for
That
bicycle
again
Even
thought
I
know
it
’s
impossible
I
love
in
NYC
,
for
heaven
’s sakes
What
are
the
odds
of
running
into
someone
like
that
?
But
I
wished
I
would
I
really
did
.
