At first
Only coworkers.
A forbidden friendship.
Breaks
Lunch
Just us two
We are stuck
Like two pieces of paper
Held by a staple
That can’t be removed.
Boss doesn’t know.
How well we know each other.
Gotta keep
The speedbump
In office relationships
Out of inspection
Keep the feeling
Buried under
A pile of papers.
No drawing hearts
On message pads
And expired invoices.
Oh what is this?

Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there.

paging
Please make your way
To the lobby.
You have an important meeting
With yours truly.
Conference room
Me and you.
They try to stare
But they can’t see
My fingers in your hair.

At first,
Only coworkers.

Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there

On that fateful day,
(It was a Monday)
I remember what was said
“I’m caught in a jam,
And I could really use
A helping hand.
The scanner won’t work
The paper is building up.
And I’ve just about
Had enough.”
With a smile
And a good
Mechanic’s sense.
“No big deal
I am used to
This kind of nonsense.
I’ve got the tools to fix it
Up real quick.”

Breaks
Lunch
Just us two

Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there

You were shipping
I was receiving
Both of us travelers
Down an unknown path.
Both of us scared
Of our boss’s wrath.
I blame it all
On that Monday
Behind the copy machine.
Where you made my heart beat.
When I realized I had no way
And no need to hide
What I was feeling.

And No one can believe it all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.

This was one of those songs where I was hit with inspiration and was typing very quickly to make sure I go it all down. For that reason there may be errors or mistakes, so feel free to let me know of any mistakes you notice. This was meant to be a fun, cute song that was inspired by a certain someone.Thanks for taking the time to read it and I hope you enjoy it :)

I really like this and I  would love to hear the music that goes with this because it sounds like it really would be great. If you have the time do you think you could check out my poems?
