Mysterious Woman

For only a moment she caught my eye
She startled me and I don't know why
The vision was clear, I was meant to see
This woman in jeans standing next to me

I shrieked out loud from the surprise
Before I could speak she had left my eyes
I stood there bewildered and all alone
The vision I had seen was someone unknown

I saw her long enough not to forget
Her image was clear and I felt no threat
She looked right at me with black curly hair
It was shoulder length and I remember her stare

She wore a sweater, I believe it was black
It had a round collar but the flair it did lack
Her arms were straight down at her sides
Her hands were open with nothing inside

It barely registered and she was gone so swiftly
This moment in time happened so quickly
I spun around to see if anyone was there
She literally disappeared into thin air

I saw the front door and it was still locked
Half past seven is what I saw on the clock
It wasn't that late but I thought I should leave
At first the vision was hard to believe

But I know what I saw and I know she was real
I don't question myself for I know how I feel
I have to wonder though if I hadn't looked up
Would she have waited for my head to turn up?

So now when I'm working late at night
I wonder if she'll reappear within my sight
For she will always be remembered by me
As the mysterious woman I was allowed to see
