Showroom Love

Walked to the showroom, a normal day
With my friends, talking away
Then I saw him there, sharp and sleek
The boy I once knew, now suave and chic

Back in school, he was shy, reserved
Spotty face, by us girls unnerved
Now he’s confident, has a dazzling smile
Making deals, with a charming style

Showroom love, as in a book
The old transformed, a better look
The change in confidence and style
Improves the product by a mile

He caught my eye, his grin grew wide
"Hi there," he said, with a touch of pride
We talked about schooldays of old
And how he had transformed to bold

He showed me things, but I could see
How the boy I knew was now a mystery
With each new word, my heartbeat raced
In his polished world, I felt out of place

Showroom love, as in a book
The old transformed, a better look
The change in confidence and style
Improves the product by a mile

Things of the past, they fade away
What matters is what we are today
He’s not the same, I to my friends sigh
See him again, with a new eye

Showroom love, as in a book
The old transformed, a better look
The change in confidence and style
Improves the product by a mile

I left the showroom, with a date
A maybe love, that could be fate
In the stars perhaps, our paths align
Showroom love may turn out fine
