Everbeen?

Twas on a night quite like this
(Except that there was rain)
that he went out to meet a girl.
(You dont need to know her name)

It was a date
(Of the type called "Blind")
that a mutual friend set up
and he was hoping that if nothing else they'd..
you know..
What?

Shut up.

He got there early
sat at the bar
and look for her in red.
He was nervous and wanted booze,
but drank a Coke instead.

An hour went by and still no date
perhaps he misunderstood
the time or place of their meeting
no biggie
All was good.

He had nothing else to do
and nowhere else to go
He decided that he'd have that beer
and just go with the flow

Another hour did pass by
still he was alone
"Maybe I should call her?"
He looked for a payphone

(This story takes place YEARS ago
he didn't own a "cell"
Hence the payphone line, ok?
There's still more tale to tell.)

He stood and walked towards the door
and the phone you had to pay
but he didn't stop to use it
he just went on his way.

He walked out into the night
and down the rainsoaked street
it wasn't raining hard, but light
the fresh air did smell sweet

He didn't care if he got wet
he'd always liked the rain
He wondered if she liked it
(the girl who has no name)

He walked around for quite awhile
and lost all track of time
it was raining harder at this point
but he didn't seem to mind

He walked and walked down empty streets
STILL.....nowhere to go
reflections danced beneath his feet
a watery light show

The city glowed
it GLOWED I tell you
on that rainy night
the beauty filled his heart with hope
Everything would be alright.

He drove home quite relaxed
a slight smile upon his face
he stopped and got some food to eat
at some little drive thru place

You may wonder why I've told you this
Why I did waste your time
the fact is....

I don't know

but hey, at least it rhyme-duh.
