Cubicles & Comets

[Verse 1] In the glow of my screen, I saw a face so serene, In the data and numbers, a story unseen. A girl with a smile, in the digital mile, We talked code and files, in a virtual style. [Chorus] But she's a comet in my sky, just passing by, With love not meant to decode or to comply. She's got her dreams, and I've got mine, In the workspace we're aligned, but love's confined. [Verse 2] Through the cables and keys, I felt a soft breeze, A connection that came with such effortless ease. But her heart's in a lock, with someone else's knock, And I'm just a chapter, in her life's dock. [Chorus] She's the song I can't write, the wrong I can't right, A fleeting dream in the dead of the night. She's got her love, not to be mine, In the office we shine, but love's a sign. [Bridge] And she said, "Work's where we meet, let's not retreat, To a world where professional and personal greet." So I nod and I smile, hide my feelings in a file, In the hope that my heart, she might beguile. [Verse 3] So I draft and I plan, like a solitary man, With a heart that whispers, "Catch her if you can." But she's clear in her stance, not giving a chance, And I'm left with my work, and a one-sided romance. [Chorus] She's the code I can't crack, the train off its track, A picture perfect that's starting to lack. She's got her path, and I've got my task, In the realm of our work, behind the mask. [Outro] So here's to the love that can't cross the line, To the girl who won't be mine. In the silence of my code, I find my ode, To the unrequited love, in work's abode.
