The Girl in The Yellow Dress

The girl in the yellow dress

couldn't even hear the door slam behind her

all she could hear was

coffee

Tuesday

3 pm

and the symphony of raindrops

playing in the background

she reached out her hand

just to make sure

she wasn't dreaming

she caught the cold drops

and smiled until her teeth acted as headlights for the shimmering wet sidewalk

the girl in the yellow dress

could still remember

the girl in the blue jeans

and the way her cheeks became beds of roses

while being asked to enjoy the city's best coffee

or iced tea

or anything really

the girl in the blue jeans nodded

her pitch black hair waved in the wind

the girl in the yellow dress

waited until

her coffee date

on Tuesday

at 3 pm

was out of sight

and danced through the rain

all the way

home.
