Victoria Wednesday

I don't swear

I try my best not to smoke

I was just rolling down the escalator

Drinking my cherry coke

 

Then

I spotted

Happy Smiley Girl

Breezing to the platform

Without a care in the world

 

I saw you off the escalator

I'm sure you saw me too

You brightened up my morning

I hope I done the same for you

 

Separated my thoughts from being aggravated by everyone around

Screwed up faces made me angry

Stiff people not making a sound

 

It was a bad morning

Happy Smiley Girl changed all that

Relief like air from open windows

Like being blown up high, after being so flat

 

We stepped inside the same carriage

Me holding a worn out bag

You carrying an undercover smile

One that would make even the saddest man in the world not sad

 

You sneaked a few peaks

I gave a few back

But we pretended not to notice

Doing it just as the other turned their back

 

Made me feel so happy

I had no pre warning

And all this from a girl I never even knew

On a grumpy Wednesday morning

 

Our stops were getting closer

I knew this couldn't last

A 5 minute love affair

Intense as a fiery blast!

 

Just before the doors swished open

Your eyes did the same

You threw me a smile and a wink

And that Happy Smiley Girl's done drove me insane!

 

It was passed on to me

That happy smiley feeling

I couldn’t look around that stale carriage

So I pointed my grin to the ceiling

 

Happy Smiley Girl

That cannot be your name

So I'll call you Victoria

Because that's the line from where you came

 

Victoria Wednesday

Never saw you again....

 

I took your smile with me

On the Northern line to Bow

 

All this you did for me

And you'll never even know....
