Taxi Stories

Night descends, city lights aglow
Inside my taxi’s spaces, stories start to flow
In the silence of the streets, whispers softly play
Love's hidden tales, how love will find a way

A tremble in her voice, tears that softly fall
Her heartbeats echoes loud, sounding like a call
Love left her behind, shadows in her eyes
Her life is troubled, her spirit silent cries

In the city's maze, I drive on through the night
Love's stories unfolding in the dim cab light
From emotional kiss to farewells steeped in pain
In this moving confessional, love is lost and gained

A hopeful glance exchanged, a first date's nervous smile
In the backseat's fleeting moments, love journeys many miles
A secret rendezvous, a love that's kept unseen
In the taxi's quiet shadows, where countless hearts convene

In the corner of my eye, a couple's sweet embrace
Whispers in the air, love's tender chase
Hearts beat together, symphony untamed
In my rearview mirror, this passenger's aflame

As the night time fades to dawn, and my work is at end
I ponder all the stories, of love that's at an end
In my rearview mirror are reflections of the heart
In this taxi driver's daily toil, love can seem like art

In the corner of my eye, a couple's sweet embrace
Whispers in the air, love's tender chase
Hearts beat together, symphony untamed
In my rearview mirror, this passenger's aflame
