My life was moving along like a clock
It had been fours years ago since I was cut
My home was restored from the wreckage
Though my heart remained in broken pieces.

I heard my son's voice calling, "mom"
After, he spoke to me and said...You have to find a man.
I told him that I don't need one.
My son told me that soon he too will be gone.

Its been awhile since I have been out on a date
I am about to sit and have a confession to make
It's not been me who's been chatting with you
Although I was in the vicinity of the computer, he thought that he found the one in you.

You see the internet is murky, and he wanted me safe
My baby is now a man, and he is doing his best to insulate
That's why he and his sister would collaborate
To rid of men who expressed sinister speculate.

As I sat down across the table from you, and explained.
I am also looking at the front of the restaurant
You listened intently with those blue eyes and observed
Then, you started to laugh. A genuine, good hearted laugh.

You stopped me from almost crying from embarrassment
Then you asked me what is by the door, and I responded.
You asked the waitstaff to ask him inside, and when he arrived.
I made the introductions so you can get a live impression
Of the online version of the "one"
As your sister said, maybe he's her "lobster"
My son, please meet, Mr. Miner.

It has been seven years ago since I first met you.
My life has changed since I sat across the table from you.
I thank you for the many blessings you've brought to my life.
It hasn't been smooth sailing for awhile
I've questioned whether you have moved on
If so, why do I keep staying in your life

Maybe it's my imagination
Maybe it's not really mutual
Maybe this is a nightmare that I would wake up from.
I'm going to be in your arms and we are happy again
Maybe we can sit down and talk about what happened
Maybe, one day you and I can be in love with each other again.
