In one second

if it had happened any other day

If I were one min later

Life has that way of giving when it wants to and taking just as easily

That damn little black book with her number inside if only I had held on a little tighter

Lately it’s always like that if only I should of damn it why didn’t I

a lesson I’m learning far too harshly

first I find a bag of hundred dollar bills more than I’ve seen before in my small little life

then I meet a lady so beautiful and smart I could feel my chest hurtling blood through every vein in my being

I stumbled through hello and managed to grunt enough responses to gain her attention and exchange numbers

and as I step away

with my identical bag to hers

to which I did give a perplexed second of thought about

but was distracted by the trams wind RUshing past

and taking

my little black book along with it

as I turned away feeling a different Weight in my hand

I realised all in a second

I’d lost my little black book

the girl of my dreams

and also all the money I had been so lucky to find

and the girl was now the luckiest richest girl of my dreams that I had no way of finding 🤷🏻‍♀️
