A laugh escapes, I can't deny
You’d ask me why, but here’s the why
With friends on streets, just joking around
A scent I love starts pulling me down
I turn my head, and there she goes
A girl so bright, the whole world froze
Instinct kicks in, I’m drawn to follow
This feeling's loud, no room for hollow
She stops at lights, so I do too
I hide myself, she can't see through
A cart nearby, I crouch behind
To keep my plan perfectly aligned
A sudden pause, a moral fight
To help or chase into the night
The horns, they blare, the choice is clear
A moment calls, I must be near
She’s gone, but the memory stays
A fleeting face through life's wild maze
Though I let her slip away
I’ve won a different kind of day
Back to the cart, I lend my hand
Through busy streets, we take a stand
The elder turns to smile and nod
A fleeting moment, yet it feels like God
The crossing clears, she walks ahead
I thank her softly, nothing’s said
My heart is torn, but pride remains
For kindness shown through fleeting lanes
She’s gone, but the memory stays
A fleeting face through life's wild maze
Though I let her slip away
I’ve won a different kind of day
Some things are meant to pass us by
Not every chance will satisfy
But when the heart chooses the right
The soul will always burn more bright
She’s gone, but the memory stays
A fleeting face through life's wild maze
Though I let her slip away
I’ve won a different kind of day
She’s gone, but I can still recall
The moment I chose to stand tall
Though the end took her away
I’ll always smile for yesterday
